The woman who carries 1000 traumas while the system keeps failing
Manage episode 502721256 series 3492327
What happens when you survive your own hell, only to become everyone else's lifeline while the same broken system keeps destroying lives? Garcia thought the hardest part was over after surviving her double attempted homicide and building Confronting Domestic Violence.
She was wrong.
Now she carries the weight of thousands of other survivors' traumas. Every day, her phone rings with stories that mirror her own nightmare. Women with nowhere to go. Families with no resources. Children in danger. All turning to her because the system that failed her is still failing them.
"I work like 20 hours a day," Garcia admits, while watching funding get revoked from the very programs designed to help victims. The Office of Victims of Crime - the lifeline for nonprofits serving domestic violence survivors - is cutting support just when it's needed most.
Garcia has become the well everyone drinks from while she slowly runs dry. She's the one fixing what institutions won't fix, carrying trauma that systems won't address, being the solution to problems she didn't create.
Discover why the most dangerous position for a high-achiever isn't being at the bottom - it's being the only one left standing when everything else collapses around you.
