Ritchie’s Story: “If homelessness happened to you or one of your friends, how would you respond? How would you react? Would you want someone to help you?”
Ritchie Vernon's story is a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of community. His journey from the streets of Anderson, Indiana, to finding a new home in Boston is filled with lessons that inspire and uplift.
Angel’s Story: “Don’t give up - that’s what I’d tell people who are still homeless.”
Winter Walk believes that ending homelessness starts with ending stigma. Our mission is to uplift the voices of those who have experienced homelessness, breaking down negative images and stereotypes through storytelling and education. Angel, whose story was featured at our 2025 Winter Walk in Boston, has generously offered to tell you their story here on our blog.
