The Vision Behind Our Foundation
Live Through It Resource Center was founded on the belief that no one should have to navigate life’s most difficult moments alone.
Too often, young people and families facing crisis, whether due to housing instability, unexpected pregnancy, health challenges, or lack of support, are left to figure out solutions on their own. In many cases, what they need most is not judgment, but guidance, resources, and a community willing to stand beside them during their most vulnerable moments.
Live Through It Resource Center was created to be that support system.
Founded by Lisa Johnson, the organization provides compassionate assistance, mentorship, and navigation of resources for individuals working to overcome hardship and rebuild stability in their lives. Through community partnerships, life-skills development, and direct support services, the organization aims to ensure that those facing difficult circumstances are equipped with the tools and encouragement necessary to move forward.
At its heart, Live Through It Resource Center is about resilience. It is about reminding individuals that while life’s challenges may be difficult, they are not insurmountable, and with the right support, people can live through it and emerge stronger.
