It is with great pleasure that I offer my heartfelt testimonial for Michelle Borders who enlivened our “Elephant in the Room” fundraising event for victims of crime with a powerful presence and impactful message. From the moment, Michelle, took the stage, she captivated the audience with her compelling story and unwavering dedication to shedding light on the often-overlooked struggles faced not only by victims of crime but also many suffering in silence. The message was one, anyone could relate to including those whose lives have been touch by mental illness, addiction, suicide, grief after the sudden death of a loved one as well as sexual abuse and harassment.
Throughout her speech, Michelle not only raised awareness about the pressing issues surrounding believing victims of crime and sexual assault survivors but the significance of having open conversations about mental health and the profound traumatic effects of victimization on individuals. Her message of empowerment and healing, resonated deeply with our guests and inspired hope and resilience in the face of adversity. The call to action encouraged others to be free to discuss difficult topics, believe without judgement while offering mutual support.
