The life of a homeless child

Born into chaos, she was thrust into a world of instability, cycling through homelessness and foster homes that were anything but safe. Her parents, consumed by addiction, vanished when she needed them most, leaving Raven to grow up fast and raise her younger siblings in neighborhoods haunted by drugs and danger.

But Raven didn’t break.

Even as an adult, living in a trap house while putting herself through college, she refused to let her circumstances define her. She clawed her way toward a future no one thought possible, earning her degree and turning her pain into purpose. Today, Raven dedicates her life to helping those who face the same darkness she once knew all too well.
