39. How Viki Brown Answered A Calling To Open Dustin's Place - Center For Grieving Children And Their Families

Viki Brown lost her husband Dustin at the young age of 34 in a tragic single car accident. Their children were 6, 5, and not even 1 year old at the time.  Viki turned to a grief support center, Ryan's place, to help both her and her children grieve the loss of Dustin. Shortly after attending, she felt a strong calling to open a children's grief center in her own town.  She mentioned the idea to friend and co-founder, Ashley, and from there doors started opening up for the center to come to fruition. She was told to get a non-profit up and running would take 3-5 years.  From the initial time she mentioned the idea until the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the facility was exactly one year!  Dustin's Place - Center for Grieving Children and their Families was born! Viki shares her story of loss, understanding children's grief, starting a non-profit, putting faith in God, finding love again, and answering a calling! It's an incredible story!
