Furaha

"I was more worried for his friends than for myself. I wanted them to hold onto life." Furaha woke up in the middle of the night to the knock no parent wants at their door. We talk about the big life of her son Evan and how her care for his friends led to a group selfie at his funeral. 

What is Withness?

We started this project to tell stories about people who were with their people through the darkest days. These kinds of stories need to be told and heard. More than that, they need to be held up to a light and examined so that we can keep on multiplying them. Our hope is these conversations won’t just be about Withness, but they will be practice for talking about the shadows of life together.
