Natalie I can not express what SKP has done for my family in words. We lost our 10 year old son 9/29/08 in an accident. His sister was riding with him in the Go-Cart when he lost control, and his brother witnessed the incident and was the first to respond with aide. We walked around in a fog for seveal months, not knowing w...hat to do, where to turn. We found SKP in January 09. I have seen so much progess in my children and myself. Feeling the comfort and security when I walk in the door! Thank you for what you do, your mission and your passion. Sincerely, Natalie Carter Proud Donor Mom of Austin Rhett Carter.
Karen Heneghan Looks like I may have to post my comments over several message..Most of what I am about to say you have probably heard before but I just wanted the staff of SKP to know that this organization was brought to my attention by a co-worker (ty,ty,ty) and SKP has been a tremendous blessing to me and Elissa by helping us over...come our grief, help us deal with Steve's (my partner and Elissa's dad) suicide..you guys came at a time in our lives when I was about at the end of my rope, not only not knowing how to cope myself but also not knowing how to help Elissa..She had become very withdrawn, sullen, guilt-ridden, angry and antisocial. Everything survivors of suicide go through.
Karen Heneghan She wouldn't talk to counselors and one counselor even suggested that I have her committed(baker acted) to save her from herself and others(thank God, I didn't listen, and understood the overwhelming hurt she was going through). We have been attending SKP since January 2009 and have seen so many positive changes in El...issa and it's all due to SKP. Words can't express my gratitude to both Patee and Cheryl for seeing the need in Tampa and opening SKP. Elissa and I aren't 100% over this, nor do I think we ever will be.
