I was raped while taking the garbage out, right outside of my own house. I never saw who, but I'm hoping he will be caught soon.

I came to TheHopeLine because I was feeling alone and overwhelmed with everything.  Despite the support from my family and friends, I felt like I needed more.

So we talked for a while and I was given many resources which I will be taking, and then I was shown how God can help me heal.

Tonight, I found God. I know he will always be there for me, and I also know that TheHopeLine will be too.

So a HUGE thank you to the lady who helped me tonight, whoever you are.  You've helped push me in the right direction and I'll forever be grateful.

Thank you, 
Jade
