“My first meeting with EFry & the many that followed saved my life. I was at such a low point emotionally & physically. I had lost myself.

I can attest that with the support of EFry, I’ve been able to piece my life back together & now help other women who are experiencing what I have.”

“I now know that I am not alone in that once completely dark world.

Not only do I have new tools, I have a support team I can turn to when the tools I have fail me.”
