Home - So Far, Yet So Close

The guest we’re having today is a girl we met right before Christmas. It all began with a friend’s mom. In that season of “gifting,” she commented ruefully on how we were ungrateful for living such a privileged life. Then she shared with us the story of this girl. This girl is our age, lives in our town, goes to school daily as we do, but the home she goes back to is a shelter. We contacted the girl, hoping to know more about her life. So here comes this episode. To protect her privacy, we will hide her real name, and silence many others appearing in the conversation. For these reasons, allow us to borrow the name of Athena. Athena was originally from Detroit, and now she lives in Ann Arbor with her Dad and brother. After hearing her story, we started a GoFundMe fundraiser, hoping that one day, when she moves into her new home, she and her family can enjoy a housewarming gift. $1000 is our goal.
