I'm Carrying the Light for myself and for those like me who have not yet found their voice.

  • I carry the light to end the silence that plagues childhood sexual abuse.
  • I carry the light for a safe place where the truth can be told.
  • I carry the light for survivors who long to find peace.
  • I carry the light for a community of support for healing.

I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. And I am not alone. Please support me and the others trying to raise awareness and provide healing. My last personal note is the odd moment when you realize the quote in the fundraising template is your own. The below quote is actually from me. How's that for honesty?

"Confronting my father, breaking my mother's heart, shattering my brother's understanding of our childhood - these were not easy things. Through it all, I kept going every Tuesday to share the support and the journey with my group of other survivors. Did it save my life? Possibly."
