Client Testimonial

​

"I remember the thoughts of worthlessness that began at the age of nine after the trauma I suffered.  I felt disgusting and never good enough.  I can't erase the past, but I will never forget that those feelings can change.  In my heart, there will always be room to appreciate even just one more day to look back on and see how far I have come.  Over the last two years, I have felt loved and supported by everyone around me at BFTC, as well as by my own loved ones. This has given me the strength and courage to push forward and leave behind the intrusive thoughts of feeling worthless or wanting to be dead.  I know now that life can be cruel, but it can also be beautiful and filled with joy.  And now I know that I don't have to walk this journey alone.  I am filled with gratitude for this newfound joy I have for life.  It is a blessing to be able to see beyond the hurt and trauma from my past and feel the joy and beauty of life anew.  Every day, I am grateful to be surrounded by the support and love of the people in my life, and to feel connected to the world around me. I can't even imagine where I would be today if I didn't find BFTC. The support and love I have received from this organization has been a lifeline for me, a chance to feel seen and heard and cared for. Thank you, BFTC! Thank you for caring when I was hurting and showing me that there is light and hope for tomorrow. I will never forget the joy and love you have brought into my life." - Halee Bird
