While I was trying to overcome my pain, my sister was murdered.  I felt so alone, I was ready to end it all.  After a suicide attempt, I realized it was more to live for and my faith was renewed.  Since that day my pain birthed my purpose to be a voice for victims. We are a support system that will fight with you and for you so you are never alone during your healing.
