Out of 8 billion people, sometimes you find the ones who change everything. Kim Bellas writes about her friendship with Eve Goldberg, the founder of BigVision NYC, who answered every parent’s greatest heartbreak by building a home where young adults in recovery find music, comedy nights, basketball, belonging and each other.
