It is not easy to share a personal story of fear, heartbreak, slander or intimidation.
We are collectively embarrassed to have allowed ourselves to be misled by Giving Hope Rescue Mission, its founder and its expansive social media presence.
One of the ways we are overcoming the fear of speaking out and working to forgive ourselves for not seeing or acting on our gut checks sooner is by sharing our personal stories.
We ask that you be sensitive to each author. Every person sharing on this website has walked a hard road and some are still grieving the loss of a child, the dream of family, and the hard reality that not every organization professing Christian faith actually operates by Christian values.
Supportive and loving emails are fully welcome and will be delivered to each author.
