After experiencing the death of her father and subsequent child abuse when she was 5, Becca Stevens longed to open a sanctuary for survivors offering a loving community. In 1997, Becca opened Thistle Farm’s first home as a sanctuary for 5 women survivors here in Nashville. Today, we’re talking with one of those survivors, Dorris Walker, to hear her personal story of drug and alcohol addiction, abuse and more while being on the streets in Nashville for over 20 years. She found her way to Thistle Farms and was forever changed and lives to tell a very powerful story that I can’t wait for you to hear.
