    Alexis (Rochester, NY)

    Alexis is the first interview I've conducted with someone out of state, but as you can imagine her story is no less heartbreaking for it. Tune in to hear the dangers she and her friend face living in their car, in the cold, without support. After listening if you'd like to help Alexis directly you can send whatever you're comfortable with to her via Venmo (@Alexis-Gothberg) or Cash ($AlexisGo13). Thank you advance for your generosity!
