President 2020-2021
I've been honored to work with and volunteer with some of the finest people anyone could know here in Cullman, Alabama. It is such a blessing to live in the best small town in the world in the "Bible belt" where most respect their elders, love their families, and stay active in their churches.
Sadly, for many years I was naively unaware that children are targets of sexual predators even here in our wonderful community. After learning more and understanding what these precious kids have endured, I was sickened and challenged to help in any way I can.
The one thing these brave kids don't need after they report their predators is to feel further traumatized by the process of bringing their perpetrators to Justice. Brooks' Place Child Advocacy Center make sure these children feel safe, heard. Instead of additional trauma, child victims of sexual and physical abuse have the opportunity to receive medical treatment, specialized counseling, and critical assistance in resolving their cases in court.
Because of Brooks' Place, no abused child should ever feel isolated and marginalized ever again. Now that I know, I must help and encourage all to do the same.
