Fighting for a Second Chance

Growing up in a neighborhood marked by violence, addiction, and the constant pursuit to fit in, David Moore takes us on a raw and honest journey through his early years – navigating gang life, substance abuse, and the heartbreak of losing his brother at a young age. He shares how his desperate need for respect and belonging led him down a dangerous path, culminating in being shot at just 15 years old. But that’s only part of David Moore’s story. Today, he’s a committed father, husband, and advocate in recovery, serving as the Community Engagement Director for the Impact Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center. David Moore opens up about his journey of redemption, pursuing higher education at USC, building a legacy for his children, and using his hard-won wisdom to inspire hope in others battling their own demons.
