Born premature, 15 weeks early and weighing just a pound and half, she spent the first three months of life in a neonatal intensive care unit. And her struggle had just begun.
Tori recalls being 8 when her mother asked her to carry out a drug deal. When she was 11, her uncle, whom she describes as a father figure, died of a heroin overdose.
Left to fend for herself, Tori says she did not even see a dentist or primary care physician — despite her fragile birth — until she was 10.
Her mother, a recovering heroin addict, has been clean now for three years, but Tori lives with her grandparents.
“I consider myself as a parent, and my mom the kid,” Tori, describing her early childhood, said in an interview in her grandparent’s home near Dayton. “She’d never take care of me, never feed me. I had to feed myself.”
