Grab a box of tissues and be prepared to tear up at the beauty of this extraordinary performance. Mandy Harvey, 29, lost her hearing as a teenager. She had been a singer before this loss, and gave up music for a while. But then she found the inspiration she needed to move through this tragedy and aspire to something greater. Through vulnerability, she found strength, and a way to move forward. Her performance is beautiful and her story is heartwarming…  But above all, her message is universal, and a true inspiration. Enjoy.

She has worked extensively developing and evaluating federally-funded substance abuse programs for organizations and clinics throughout Massachusetts and New York. With an interest in recovery and substance abuse that spans 20 years, she sees a huge need to help families develop the skills to help a loved one recover fully in a supportive, whole, and lasting way in their families and in their communities. Her mission is to have Allies in Recovery fill that gap.
