I have spent the first 17 years of my adult professional life setting-up and programming CNC Lathes at various machine shops. Although I have thoroughly enjoyed working as a machinist, I am ready to begin doing something that I am 100% passionate about. I have recently joined forces with the team at Humanity Preservation Foundation (HPF) to begin a Michigan chapter. HPF is a non-profit foundation that is dedicated to raising awareness and aiding in the prevention of Child Sexual Abuse, Domestic Violence and Bullying. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that 1 of 4 girls and 1 of 6 boys are sexually abused before the age of 18. This is an Epidemic that can be stopped if we provide our children and the adults around them the facts needed to stop future abuse. These children need to know what to do and where to start if they are facing child abuse that has already taken place.My goal is to travel around the State of Michigan providing Elementary, Middle and High Schools with a brief presentation of my story of being abused by my father from the ages 7-14. These children need to know that if abuse is happening to them, they are not and will not be alone. I will have brochures for different agencies that will pay for therapy as well as numbers of therapists that specialize in sexual abuse, all of which are highly recommended from people who have survived the same traumatic experiences. The parents and teachers can also schedule a presentation for after school hours which is obviously geared more towards educating the caregivers so they know the signs of abuse and how badly their children need their support. HPF is dedicated to providing this information not only to schools, we will come to businesses, churches, etc. and there is absolutely no cost. When i was a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2010 along with Tyler Perry and 199 other men who had been abused, I no longer felt alone. That's when i could finally start to heal. We WILL change lives!!!
