I can’t thank you enough for all that Kara has given us. A friend said to me recently, ‘You were so broken for so long. It’s good to see your old self emerge and see you able to laugh and be happy again.’ There are many factors that helped us put the pieces back together, and Kara was one of the big ones. I am eternally grateful for what my children and I have gotten from the program. Listening and learning from the group leaders and from other survivors has been essential to our recovery.
