This has been a particularly challenging year for all of us...
Here is part one of Sav's story. Look for parts two and three in the upcoming weeks! With Jackson Street's help, Sav stayed safe and stable during the current pandemic.
"Hi there! My name is Sav. I'm a trans guy and I live in Corvallis. When I was 11 years old, I moved to Albany with my mom, and lived there for a few years. While living in Oregon, conflicts with my mom and I caused heightened instability in our relationship.
...In January I was recommended to Jackson Street by my therapist because I was having financial difficulties and insecure circumstances regarding my mental health. I've had a lot of trauma in my life as well as dealing with things such as hate because I am LGBT and autistic. I wasn't expecting much coming into Jackson Street, mainly because I wasn't entirely sure what they were going to do for me."
That's how things had been... Stay tuned for what came next!
