Abbott House

I just got home from speaking at the Abbott House in Mitchell! Let me tell what a humbling experience it was to speak to these young girls. When you see some of these girls have tears running down their face while I was telling my story of growing up. It is a great feeling though to know that I reached some of them when they have built walls up the size of Skyscrapers!

 

I have no picture to show for the safety of the girls  but they each got to take a picture with me that the staff will give to them!!!

2011 Candle Light Vigil to Honor Victims of Domestic Violence

I was asked to be the Key speaker in Yankton, SD.  This was hosted by The Yankton County Sexual Assualt Team/Community Response Team.   It brought tears to my eyes last while speaking.  The Yankton community suffered from a terrible tragedy April 9, 2011.  That was the day that Brianna Knoll's life was taken by her boyfriend.  Not only the lives of Brianna's family and friends were forever changed, but impacted the lives of many across the state.
