Dear Esteemed Attendees, Supporters, and Generous Donors,

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who joined us at our 5^th Annual Healing the Voice Within event to raise awareness of the profound impact of childhood sexual abuse and much needed funds to support The Gatehouse. Your presence, support, and contributions made this gathering an incredible success.

Over 300 people came together to learn, connect, and stand in solidarity with survivors. Your collective commitment to this critical cause is truly awe-inspiring. By being a part of this event, you have actively contributed to raising awareness, breaking the silence, and supporting survivors on their healing journey and continue the meaningful work of The Gatehouse.
