⚠️ Sensitive Content: Discussions on domestic violence and abuse. We continue this week with Stephanie who shares her story of domestic abuse and how she was able to get out of the situation with her children. Stephanie also shares about her prior experience living in a family shelter with her mother and how that deterred her from applying for shelter with her own children in the midst of crisis.
