I began my involvement with the Gwinnett Sexual Assault Center & Children's Advocacy Center in 1992 as a crisis volunteer. I have seen the value of GSAC-CAC's services to victims of sexual assault and molestation over the years. Spouses, parents, siblings, and friends receive support in how to best support the victim and adjust post-assault. The forensic evidence collected at the Center helps to bring justice to the perpetrators. The Support Groups are invaluable to victims who strive to move from victim to survivor to thriver. Crimes of a sexual nature are uncomfortable for people to talk about, much less seek help. I'm glad that GSAC-CAC is here for the community.

The MPD Foundation reached out to me after I found its website. I was newly-diagnosed with Polycythemia Vera and had many questions and fears. It maintains a resource-rich website with links to the latest in research and education. The Board chair and staff have provided me wonderful guidance and support. MPD Foundation financially supports research for these rare MPDs as well as patient advocacy. We are fortunate to have this organization and I will continue to support its mission.
