Moments of Hope
From Those We've Supported
Thank you, Ember’s Hope for being there to talk to someone who wouldn’t talk to anyone else. There is something about a shared experience and Halligan’s sense of energy that makes an honest and vulnerable conversation possible. And that is always the start to a better path.
