About the founders

CHERYL M. HUGHEY

Author of the book

"There I Sat In Silence"

The inspiration for the book came from several sources. She is a survivor of domestic violence, rape, and sexual assault. She also grieved the death of a dear friend at the hand of her abuser, and the brutal rape and murder of her daughter's nine-year-old friend." Cheryl witnessed first hand; the lack of resources available to victims of abuse.

Now she is a voice, that's letting victims know, they can rise up from silence!!!! And she, along with her husband, Terry Hughey, is also assisting them in finding the resources to do so.
