Raven Evan's story is a poignant reminder of the strength found in vulnerability and the transformative power of community support. In this episode of MY Voice, Raven, a long-time client and now a member of the Youth Board of Directors at MY House, shares the first part of her journey. Growing up in Anchorage, Alaska, Raven faced neglect, homelessness, and abuse from a young age. Her candid recounting of these early experiences is both heart-wrenching and inspiring.
Raven speaks openly about the challenges she faced as she navigated through adolescence, including her struggle with addiction and the profound impact of losing her sister to suicide. Raven's introduction to MY House was through their Supper Club, a simple meal that opened doors to a world of support and understanding. Her interactions with MY House staff, particularly Michelle, who knew her family history, were pivotal in her journey.
Despite the ups and downs, MY House remained a constant source of help, providing showers, food, and a non-judgmental space even when Raven was at her lowest. The episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of organisations like MY House that offer unwavering support. Raven's story is not just about survival but about finding hope and strength in community.
Her journey is far from over, and her voice offers valuable lessons for anyone facing similar struggles. Tune in to hear Raven's story unfold and reflect on how support systems can change lives. Are you ready to be inspired by Raven's courage and the incredible work done at MY House?
