My Story…
September 12, 15 years ago is the day Lindiwe crossed over. Losing your child and continuing to live your life is one of the more difficult things a person can endure. I have found that everyone has a different path towards healing and a different timeline for their journey. Some never even step on that path. As I consider my own personal journey I know that when I decided to make a conscious effort to heal, one giant step on my path was when I turned the focus off my own pain and decided to pour my grief into helping others. Second Wind became an integral part of my healing process. Donating to Second Wind not only supports the youth who are provided with needed therapy, it also provides people who have lost someone they love with a step towards healing. Please support this amazing organization in honor of Lindiwe, in honor of others who have lost their lives, and in honor of all of us who are working at continuing to live in spite of our grief.
