Share your story as the Survivor Keynote for this year’s Stargazing 2017 celebration!
As a part of the foundation’s anniversary celebration, an adult survivor shares their personal story of healing. The goal of this presentation is to help improve this community’s understanding of the complex and diverse paths to survival for those who have experienced sexual trauma. The Survivor Keynote helps our community understand the importance of The Firecracker Foundation’s holistic healing services for children and families in the tricounty area.
