Create Los Angeles was founded with one goal in mind: to change the way we help others. With a track record of success in mentoring, life coaching, and supporting the recovery community, I founded Create Los Angeles in 2013 with a desire to redesign the way a support system works. At Create we understand the importance of personalized and dedicated care for individuals who need assistance in fulfilling their goals, whatever they may be. This program is uniquely designed to support, develop and accomplish the goals of the client, but to keep them on a path to success through discovering and enlarging their sense of self, passions, and life as a whole.

Next Step Network, LLC is launching the Next Step Prepaid MasterCard program, the first re-loadable prepaid card designed for people in early addiction recovery, and those supporting them. It is the most structured and restricted card entering the marketplace. The goal of the Next Step Card is to give family, friends, and/or guardians back some control, while promoting money management education, to help foster personal growth. The Next Step Card features include:- Prohibiting cash withdrawal from ATMs and receiving cash back from point-of-sale terminals- Restricted use at certain merchant categories (i.e. bars, liquor stores, pubs, gambling establishments)- Daily spending limits- Cap on the number of transactions that can be made monthly to promote spending awareness- Budgeting Tool (includes bar and pie charts)- Progress Reports (grading scale to help people see month-to-month success in different areas of the program).All three founders are in addiction recovery. We hope to use their personal experiences, as well as those they've helped in the community, to teach others about the consequences of not being financially responsible.
