Peter's Place RVA Peter's Place is an online resource located out of the heart of Virginia. Our mission is to provide compassionate and accessible housing, resources, and trauma-informed care to LGBTQIA+ individuals seeking individualized recovery support. The name Peter’s Place name is dear to the heart of our founder, Shauntelle. Peter was a friend she met while trying to face her own demons. Peter was a latinx gay male who, like many of us, struggled with a substance use disorder. Shauntelle met Peter at one of the lowest points in both of their lives. They were both trying to kick this disease that had its grips on them for far too long. Through multiple attempts and a lot of mistakes, Shauntelle was able to kick that addiction but unfortunately, Peter was not.Peter lost the battle in 2016 to a fatal overdose. He was more than his disease. He was a friend, son, brother, and a shining light in Shauntelle's life. | | |
