In this episode of Another Bloody Podcast, Share the Dignity founder Rochelle Courtenay sits down with Caitlin, an It’s in the Bag recipient whose story is a powerful reminder of the impact a single donation can have.


In her early twenties, Caitlin was navigating youth homelessness and mental health challenges when she received a bag filled with everyday essentials. At a time when everything felt uncertain, that simple act of kindness made her feel seen, supported, and not alone.


Caitlin shares what it meant to receive the bag during one of the most difficult periods of her life, and how that moment has stayed with her for years. From struggling to access basic essentials to now building a stable home, career and family, her journey is one of resilience, growth and hope.
Now a Youth Worker and volunteer with Share the Dignity, Caitlin’s story has come full circle. She reflects on the importance of giving back, and how supporting others has become a meaningful part of her own healing.


Because behind every donated bag is a person, and sometimes, that small act of kindness can change the course of a life.
