I joined Harboring Hope after applying for a bursary and was amazed to get one, and thankful to God/universe for making it happen, as it was so needed ... I had to retell my story, which is always the hardest part, but after getting through that, getting the motion going and getting to know the ladies in the group and our Group Leader — whom we all grew to love as we saw her as our Mommy Bear — I was always cheered on and motivated along this journey every step of the way. I gained so much respect for each lady in the group and their stories that brought them here ... It's nice knowing that there are others out there going through the same battle as us, and that we are not alone.
