Adelaide P. Cota Newsroom - Profile and News Archive
"I'm devoted to sharing my experiences with others so I can help them to advocate for themselves," Adelaide P. Cota says. "Whether it's helping a homeless military veteran fill out a job application or finding resources for people who need mental health services, I'll do the research and connect the people with what they need. I'll lead them to water and hope they'll drink." And, she does it all for free.
After a series of unfortunate events, Cota admits that she wished she had someone to help connect her with proper resources. She was struggling to find mental health resources for her mother, did a stint in prison and lost custody of her son. She was accused of welfare fraud, but most charges were dropped. During this time, her health and memory suffered.
In the midst of all this, she decided it was time to take action. Only she could be her best advocate. Now, she's helping others to do the same.
