So it is fitting that John's story be first here also. I have worked with John off and on for about 5 years and have been encouraged often by him as I too have come forward to tell my story in many places and to do all I can to help make sure other children do not suffer as we have. Thanks, John, for going ahead of us and make the path a bit easier for other survivors of child sex abuse and for speaking for those who still struggle with finding the words.
