BY GRACE I AM WHAT I AM

“Eva Ramos”

Founder and President of the ERA POSSESSION Foundation

My story didn't begin in a safe or comfortable place.

I was born into the midst of my father's abandonment, extreme poverty, and the pain of a single mother with three children.

Since then, I learned to survive: from the age of 5, I began working to help my mother, collecting cardboard and bottles on the streets. We ate leftovers from school recess due to the lack of food at home, and sometimes even leftover cow feed to satisfy our hunger.

At 9 years old, a priest stole more than just my innocence. After sexually abusing me, he stole my faith and caused almost irreversible damage to my small body. Just when I thought nothing could get worse, the worst began:

At age 11, I was kidnapped and became a victim of human trafficking. I was detained under the influence of scopolamine for 18 days and was about to be sent to Spain, but the Colombian Army's GAULA rescued me two days before.

From then on, I fell into drug addiction until I was 17, suffering three overdoses that nearly cost me my life.

After that, life didn't get any easier. I lost my first husband to a violent death.

I also saw my brother being murdered before my eyes with no chance of saving him.

Some time later, I was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

And when I thought it was all over, I saw a light of hope that drove me to fight.

It was in the darkest place that God found me and lifted me up. His perfect love healed me.

Miraculously, I was able to get up after six months in intensive care. I emerged from death into life, a new life full of purpose.

I trained as a Professional Stylist, International Business Management Technologist, and Organic Hair Product Formulator.

I arrived in the United States as an immigrant, not knowing the language, with deep scars on my soul, without resources, but with a promise: to turn my story into a purpose to help other women.

I felt a call from God in my heart and started from scratch. Today I am a professional, an entrepreneur, and, above all, a woman restored by divine grace to restore other women.

I founded ERA POSSESSION so that no woman will ever again believe she is alone, that she is worthless, or that her story is over.

Because if God raised me from the ashes, I know He can raise many more.

My mission is to sow faith where there was fear, dignity where there was shame, and tools where there was scarcity.

Because I believe that if one woman heals, a generation changes.
