Margaret's Story: Home at Caminar

Meet Margaret, a long-time client who found Caminar after years of trauma – including sexual assault, addiction, poverty, incarceration, racism, homelessness, and life on her own in San Francisco’s Tenderloin since she was 12. 

Margaret exemplifies someone whose life circumstances gave rise to significant behavioral health challenges. With the help of Caminar, coupled with her indomitable spirit, she is now stable, clean, housed, and focused on supporting women who have faced similar trauma. She believes that if Caminar had been in her life during her adolescence, she’d have had an entirely different life – one with considerably less suffering.
