For a period of my life, I experienced homelessness, and it reshaped the way I view resilience, self-worth, and stability. I know the exhaustion of not having a safe place to rest and the emotional weight of trying to survive while still holding onto hope. Over time, I learned to build strength in small steps—finding safe spaces, accessing resources, and creating a vision for something better. Now, I share that experience to help others who may feel overlooked or defeated. I understand how important it is to feel heard without judgment, and I know firsthand that progress doesn’t happen overnight—it comes from patience, persistence, and having someone who believes in you along the way. My goal is to be that steady support, reminding others that homelessness does not define their worth, and that it is possible to rebuild a life with dignity and peace.
