"Amazing Dani"

Recently at karaoke I met an amazing survivor named Dani.  She is a stunningly beautiful (every man in the club was after her) 24 y.o. survivor.

Between the ages of 3 and 10 she lived outdoors, homeless.  Her mother had committed suicide and her father was in prison for meth.

She has held 2 to 5 jobs since she was 9 years old.  This amazing young woman danced and sang with great abandon and has figured out a way to enjoy life, despite the fact that she believes:

"my generation is completely screwed"

(meaning her generation)

She works full time as a social worker and that is just one of her jobs.

What a gift to meet Dani!
