Craig Laubacher – Co-Founder
“After meeting with the teenagers who have struggled with and are overcoming addiction problems, I realized that once addiction is dealt with, life truly starts. Without financial and expert assistance, many young adults are not well equipped for the real world. Starting Real Life Angels has given us an opportunity to help these kids to realize their tremendous potential.”

Jessica Baxter – Development Coordinator
“I first learned about Real Life Angels through my life long friend and RLA’s co-founder, Craig Laubacher. When he told the story of how they started and their mission, I knew it was a perfect fit for me. My top goals in life are to help others believe in themselves, motivate them to work hard by setting positive goals and inspire others to live their best lives. When you reach a goal, it empowers you and gives you motivation to set new and higher goals. Everyone deserves to live their best life! Helping people have a chance at that life through this organization is an honor and I’m blessed to be a part of this team.”
Jessica lives in Kingwood, TX, with her husband, Keith, and sons, Austin and Ashton. Besides being a mom, she spends most of her time volunteering at her son’s school, raising money for nonprofits and training for running and triathlon events.
