A message from the Founder Chantel Marsaw- Williams : My Back Story
Greetings, my name is Chantel L. Marsaw-Williams. February 7, 1997 marked a turning point for me. Glennis Marsaw Your presence has been my guiding light through the darkest of times. My brother's life was tragically cut short when 8,000 volts surged through him while he worked. At just 21, he was taken from us, leaving me, at 19, to grapple with an unbearable loss. Your support has been my solace, but the ache of missing him persists, a wound that time cannot heal. With gratitude, Chantel Marsaw-Williams
