Really, the only person that ultimately could have helped Hannah was Hannah, and she was in a tough spot, and it's very easy for us to sit and discuss it. So you know, thank you, thank you for doing it. So just passing the information on and getting out there as much as I can. So I'm shining a light on homelessness in Oxford, and I also believe, and Hannah also believe, that when someone passed away, they became the brightest star in the night sky.
Amber Lights has turned a personal tragedy into a beacon of hope for the homeless community in Oxford. In this heartfelt episode of 'The Self Development Podcast', Johnny Lawrence sits down with Amber, the founder of Amber Lights in Oxford, to discuss her sister Hannah's battle with homelessness and how it inspired her to create a charity in her memory.
Hannah, who was always there for Amber, found herself relying on various homeless charities in Oxfordshire from late 2015 until her untimely passing in 2017. This loss spurred Amber to establish Amber Lights, which supports Homeless Oxfordshire, the largest provider of supported accommodation for homeless individuals in the area. During their conversation, Johnny and Amber dive deep into the often misunderstood and stigmatized world of homelessness.
They talk about the importance of empathy, the harsh realities faced by those without a home, and how anyone can find themselves in such a situation. Amber's story is not just about loss; it's about resilience and the power of community support. She shares touching anecdotes about her sister and offers insights into how we can all contribute to making a difference.
This episode is a poignant reminder of the human stories behind homelessness and the incredible impact one person can have on many lives.
