What is your history/story/connection to Brooke's Place?

Our daughter died 13 years ago at 32 and I never received formal counseling, but my faith allows me to get through it daily. When our church ESC posted the opportunity to volunteer, I saw it as a way to give back at the same time help me to heal. This journey so for has done just that. I am able to relate to others who are going through what I have gone through and at the same time what I learned in the classes has also helped me to heal. I had also seen Brooke's Place because their office is in the same building where I work...so I knew it was a sign when the volunteer opportunity was announced at our church.
