Belinda Knox founded Woman 2 Woman to help change lives.
MIAMI - A South Florida woman who was made stronger by some of life's toughest battles is now helping others who are struggling. For Belinda Knox, life was anything but easy. 'I was the woman that was out there in the streets doing my thing. I was that woman that had lost her kids to the system. I was that woman that was on drugs. I was that woman that people thought wouldn't make it,' she said. Knox said well over 20 years ago she was bound by the ways of the streets.
Knox said she got herself together, got clean, moved to South Florida and got her kids back. In August 2000 she founded the nonprofit Woman 2 Woman to help change the lives of people who found themselves on the wrong side of the tracks. 'I do it because I love it,' she said. 'I do it because I was that chick that needed someone to care for me.'Woman 2 Woman serves hundreds of men and women, connecting them with resources to get them back on their feet.
