Angie

I came to Harvest Home in 2023.

I was really nervous at first just because I didn't know what to expect.

I didn't know how it was going to be because I had been in and out of so many programs, shelters and stuff.

So I was just like, well, how is this going to be?

So I was just really kind of meeting it with an open mind and gratitude, obviously, because I was coming from the street, you know, basically in a car like Shay mentioned.

Man, what was that?

A brush of breath there, you know?

It was safety, comfort, and...

Just being able to relax and sleep without being worried of I had to look behind my back or anything like that.

I was safe in a place on a bed, stretched out fully, not in a car, you know.

And I was just secure, you know, safe.

Yeah, absolutely.

I think it shaped my whole history of relationships because I had never experienced that until I did.

And then when I did, it did such damage that I felt that's all I deserve because I ended up believing what the person was telling me.

I mean, we can say that since I was like five, really, you know, if we want to get into it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That was mistreatment, you know, sexual abuse.

That's mistreatment, right?

Yes.
