Rafael Davila and his twin brother grew up in a middle class suburb of Detroit, raised by a single mother. They didn't grow up in poverty or lacking love, their mother was a school teacher who provided all they needed. However, Rafael shares with America's Podcaster, Kurt Caceres, how drug addiction can hit anyone, regardless of color, financial status or education. He started hanging with the wrong crowd and to overcome his insecurities, he fell into a life of drugs. His Mother, desperate and helpless, contacted their father, whom they had never met, and he entered into Rafael's life for the first time at 16 years old. He was beginning to build a relationship with his father, which helped him shake his substance addiction. They were becoming a real family, his father now being Grandfather to Rafael's two children. But then the tragedy of 9/11 arrived, and his father just so happened to be a paramedic in lower Manhattan. Though his father survived this historic catastrophe, he lived with PTSD and himself fell into a life of addiction to morphine and other drugs. One day he slammed to much and overdosed. Rafael spiraled from losing the father he had just met for the first time in his life. He ended up in the streets and gutters of Washington, D.C., a raging drug addict, barely holding on to life. Until his two children found him on the street, and the look on their faces changed his life forever.
