Episode 9: Lucky’s Journey
“Helping the people on the streets and seeing myself in them, really helped me keep going.” -Lucky
It’s that time again, folks! We have a new episode ready for your listening pleasure. Tune into Season 2 Episode 9 “Lucky’s Journey.” We are leaning into what we do best: carving out space for people to share their stories. In this episode, we interviewed Lucky, a resident of the Safe Outdoor Space run by Colorado Village Collaborative. Lucky describes his journey into homelessness, struggling with epilepsy and job loss, and his plans for the future. He shares why he chose the name “Lucky” and how he developed a community during his time living in the S.O.S.
“Human contact and keeping a relationship going as a friend is very important to the people living alone and living in alleys and everything because they’ve been left behind.”
Please listen to Lucky’s episode, rate it, and share. We need your help to make sure as many people tune in as possible because we believe these stories humanize homelessness and drive change. We also need help crossing the finish line with Season 2. We want to bring you episodes on Veteran homelessness, evictions, program bright spots, and an update on the housing and homelessness system. Please consider donating to our fundraising campaign and sharing with others. As you know, we currently volunteer our time, but we do compensate our interviewees with a gift card, pay for the use of the podcast studio, and pay our Peer Producer and Editor. Every $25 helps tremendously and right now we have TWO generous (anonymous) donors offering matching funds, up to $3,500. Thank you in advance for supporting our work and believing in the power of storytelling!
