A Note from Ellie
In the summer of 2024, my world shattered in an instant. One moment, I was packing up my older son for his freshman year of college—the next, I was on my knees beside a two-lane road, pleading for my younger son’s life. He had just survived a near-fatal car accident, and in that moment, nothing else mattered except the desperate hope that he would make it through.
What followed was a journey of unimaginable pain, resilience, and ultimately, miracles. Our lives changed forever that afternoon, but through it all, I discovered a strength I never knew I had. This experience has shaped me in ways I’m still uncovering, and now, I’m here to share our story—one of faith, perseverance, and the incredible power of hope.
If you’ve faced your own moments of darkness and are searching for light, I invite you to follow along. Let’s walk this journey together.
