The closing of our Hastings Lewis House coincided with the sunset of an impactful career. For more than two decades, Advocate Louise Evans has been the guiding light for those navigating the darkest of times, offering unwavering support, a compassionate ear, and a profound sense of hope.

Louise helped open the Hastings Lewis House more than 20 years ago. Fittingly, Louise was there to help close its doors in November. She supported countless survivors in between, helping them imagine and realize a healthy new life. Her tireless efforts in raising awareness, advocating for change, and providing a safe haven for survivors have transformed lives and left an indelible mark on our community.

We wish her the very best in retirement.
