By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
At 92 years young, Sylvia Anthony has no plans to sit idle on the couch. In 1987, she founded Sylvia’s Haven, a Boston area shelter for women and children, and it remains her “magnificent obsession. Sylvia herself endured a difficult childhood that included an abusive father and a disinterested mother. Sylvia married young and remained in an abusive marriage until a divorce that left her alone to support her three children. Through her ambition and strength of character, Sylvia persevered, building a life for herself and her kids. After raising her children, Sylvia remarried — still, there was a void. She felt a calling to help young women, and her husband, Rick, encouraged her to follow her heart. Initially designed for homeless pregnant women, her shelter opened on January 25, 1987. Sadly, her husband lost his battle with cancer on March 30 of the same year, telling Sylvia before he died to “go get the girls.” And she’s been giving new hope to young, homeless women ever since. googletag.cmd.push(function() { if($(document).width()<900) { s = googletag.defineSlot(
