Dear Blackwater,

I just wanted to write to all of you to thank you.  Each and every one of you played a huge role in giving me my life back.  I walked into the first day, silent and scared and as a victim.  And I walked out from family day enthusiastic and with my voice as a “warrior.”  You guys helped me find all the answers within.  You guys made it possible by having such a program…by being encouraging and being trustworthy.  A hug from me to all of you.
