DETAILS

Because of LAVA, Pike said, she has her life back and isn’t afraid anymore because those family members can’t hurt her. [LAVA] was also able to get all three evicted from Pike’s home, and the court awarded the woman a $6,000 judgment for the damages done to her house. Now she is sharing her story so more people can know about LAVA and potentially get the help they need.
