I am a 30 something year old woman and I was abused for most of my childhood. I believe that Jesus carried me through that time and brought me to where I am today. While I am not perfect and do not have all of the answers, I want others who have suffered abuse to know that they are not alone. I am here to offer hope and comfort.
Rachel, age 3
