By the time I finally caught up with her I was out of breath. Breathing heavily as I felt a cold gust of air hit my face. As I walked alongside my mom I could see that old street

My mother informed me that I would be a camp counselor for the week at the Hand-In-Hand Summer Camp for special needs children. To clarify what Hand-In-Hand is, it was started by one of my family’s great friends, Joanie Stiel. Mrs. Stiel had a special needs child, who was this beautiful,bright little girl
official history and take responsibility for their own personal story.

One of the testimonies I cannot forget is from a teenage girl who reported continuous years of sexual abuse from her father.
