Allie runs a pet sitting business in her day to day. In this interview, Allie talks about being sexually abused my members of her family, seeing her sister be murdered, living in an orphanage in Kazakhstan, being adopted to the US, having a mom who was addicted to drugs and alcohol, and going to treatment for suicidal ideations.

I want to thank Allie for her being willing to open on so many tough aspects of her life in the effort to help anyone who today is in a position she was previously in.
