I used to be a small, cowardly wimp, to put it simply. Now, I am only half a wimp.
In this episode of MY Voice, Isaac takes the reins as host, chatting with Jamin, a long-time employee at MY House's Cafe Jamin. The conversation delves into Jamin's journey from the Alaska foster care system to finding a supportive community at MY House. At just 12 years old, Jamin entered foster care due to family issues, facing a whirlwind of challenges including homelessness and joblessness by the age of 19.
Despite the odds, he refused to succumb to despair, opting instead for a job training programme that eventually led him to MY House. Jamin shares candidly about the difference MY House made in his life, highlighting how the programme offered not just training, but also a sense of belonging. He reflects on the unique philosophy of care at MY House, which prioritises understanding and agency over a one-size-fits-all approach.
Through his role at Cafe Jamin, Jamin transitioned from a cafe intern to assistant manager, gaining valuable skills that have now paved the way for a career in concrete masonry. The episode also touches on Jamin's involvement in shaping the philosophy of care at MY House, showcasing his journey from a participant to a valued contributor. His story is a testament to resilience and the power of community support in overcoming life's hurdles.
If you're curious about how compassion and practical support can transform lives, this episode offers an engaging and heartfelt narrative worth tuning into.
