Tanya Sych knows what it means to grow up without the safety of a real home.
She was one of six children taken into an orphanage after addiction consumed her family.
Her mother drank heavily, used drugs, and cycled in and out of prison. Her father, Tanya believes, never recovered from the grief of losing his children. He died while she was still young. Her mother died the day before Tanya turned eighteen.
For a girl raised inside that kind of instability, the future could have gone in many painful directions.
Photographer and storyteller Ronnie Mosley visited Last Bell for three and a half intense days at the end of March. He conducted several interviews with our clients in order to tell their stories. Discover the story behind Capturing Grace and how the life of Ronnie’s daughter Christina continues to inspire this work at capturinggrace.org/about-us.
