I am a volunteer at Positive Directions in Wichita, KS. Every day we talk with individuals that have been exposed to HIV, those coming in for regular checkups/retests, or those who may be first-time clients.

Death and dying are not often thought of as being comfortable, peaceful, or beautiful. Having the support of others can make a world of difference for patients and families in this time; this is where hospice can step in.

We all know someone who has experienced domestic violence. It occurs at the same rate in all socio-economic groups, races, and faiths. We see survivors at church, at work, throughout our daily lives.  We just don’t know. Someone on your block may be suffering abuse right now.

My entire life I wanted to be a mother.

I remember telling many people growing up that I honestly felt as though I was put on this earth to be a mom.
