ABOUT US

At Only Miracles, we are committed to transforming lives by helping former gang members, individuals who were previously incarcerated or those who have lived a life of crime, transition into society and build purposeful, meaningful lives. Founded by Elisabeth Weinstock, known as “Miss Elisabeth”, who started a journey working with active gang members in 1998, volunteering at A Place Called Home in South Central Los Angeles. She held weekly AA and “anti gang meetings” for a group of young gang members who worked at the facility. Steadfastly, Weinstock has worked for over 25 years, tirelessly trying to make a difference and offer guidance and support to those in need. She has built a community what she refers to as “a family” that meets weekly, allowing members to share feelings and insight with one another because she believes that “love heals all.”

Our mission is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a second chance. We believe that through compassion, community, and mentorship, we can unlock the potential for a new beginning. We offer a comprehensive support system that includes weekly online group sessions where participants share their experience, strength and hope with one another. This allows them gain insight, become inspired, and find solace through a supportive network. Additionally, we host events bringing our Only Miracles family together for a meal, a round circle meeting and human connection, which fosters a sense of belonging and encouragement.

Through our initiatives, we aim to create a ripple effect of hope and transformation. We believe that as we broaden our community, and support is provided to those released from more and more prisons, we are creating safer communities nationwide.

The Only Miracles Podcast extends our reach beyond local communities, sharing powerful stories of resilience and redemption with a global audience. By amplifying these voices, we strive to inspire others and advocate for the transformative power of second chances.
