Sherri’s Story: When Survival Means Sacrifice (Part One)

What happens when survival means making the hardest decision a mother can face? 

In this emotional first part of Sherri’s story, she opens up about her journey through childhood trauma, domestic violence, addiction, and the moment she chose to give custody of her children to her parents – not out of abandonment, but out of love. 

Sherri shares the harrowing reality of abuse, including a near-death assault that changed her life forever. Her story shines a light on the deep connection between trauma and homelessness, and how cycles of violence and addiction can leave even the strongest among us in crisis. 

This episode is raw, powerful, and essential listening for anyone seeking to understand the hidden struggles behind homelessness, and the strength it takes to survive them. 

Part Two of Sherri’s story – her journey toward healing and hope – drops May 28. 

Content Warning: This episode contains descriptions of domestic violence, assault, abuse, and addiction. Listener discretion is advised.
