It's a place of hope, strength, and healing - a community piece built by so many coming together. About the Monument
This project was started in 2019 with a simple meeting one afternoon in a City office. Each step of the way has been nothing less than miraculous! All the people, companies, and support during every step is what has built this monument. Every piece of this structure reflects a person and heart involved, a company that stands to be a voice, a person who believed in the message and was willing to see it through! The time and dedication given by all involved will forever humble me and bring me to tears
How it Started
As a survivor myself, I wanted to do something to raise awareness in our community, educate, and let other survivors know they were not alone and it wasn't their fault. I am an 8th grade teacher in Appleton as well, so that is where I started - with the youth of our community. I had been speaking 11 years to area schools (and continue to), hearing so many heartbreaking stories similar to my own and knew there had to be something more we could do in our community. So, the process began! And the community support from individuals and companies has been nothing less than miraculous!
