This Is Us

If we're being completely honest, each of us has experienced events that have altered the course of who and what we are. For us, that time was in 2016. My daughter related a traumatic incident that had happened to her two years earlier. She had the incredible bravery to speak out, and as a mother, I was devastated by the details of what she revealed. Having worked as a nurse for more than 20 years, I was aware of how my each step might affect her ability to cope with the pain and fear.

Our lives changed drastically over the course of the subsequent weeks as I worked to foster a feeling of safety and healing. Within a few weeks, therapy began, and it was the biggest unexpected blessing. We attended sessions where the seeds of PEACE were planted every Wednesday for a year. Knowing that my heartbeat had to endure suffering shattered my world as a mother, and I had to find ways to recover. As I saw my Lilly begin to blossom once more, we made a pledge to one another that we would assist anyone who had suffered trauma and pain in healing since we were aware of the humiliation, pain, and stigma associated with it. We are ecstatic to uphold our PROMISE! THIS IS MY WHY!
