In 1991, I was abducted walking to the school bus. I was 11-years-old. When I was recovered from my captors eighteen years later, my family needed help reconnecting. The process required an extensive, multi-disciplinary approach to get through a very difficult transition in our lives. We needed protection, expertise, support, and the ability to make choices as we started our healing journey. I believe that families who survive major life traumas need and deserve the kind of support we received. Because of this belief my family formed The JAYC Foundation in 2010.<\/p>\n

“At The JAYC Foundation, we believe true healing begins with connection\u2014to ourselves, to those we love, and to the world around us.<\/p>\n “After surviving my own experience of trauma, I learned firsthand how important it is to have a safe space to reconnect, rebuild, and begin again. It\u2019s not just about surviving\u2014it’s about finding ways to live, to trust, and to hope again.<\/p>\n Our foundation exists to support individuals and families affected by trauma.
