Finding Founders

This is Alexis and her three kids. I’m meeting them at this building in San Francisco that’s a school during the day and a shelter at night. One year ago today, Alexis and her family called the shelter home. It became a safe haven for them as the past held shadows of a 17-year marriage marred by domestic abuse. During her time at the shelter, Alexis was able to get a job and eventually got a place for her family to have their own space. As we walk through what was once their neighborhood, we’ll go deeper into how Alexis got her family to where they are today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
