While going through brain surgery to correct epileptic seizures, followed by breast cancer one year later, Debbie experienced physical, emotional, and spiritual struggles in her life. She soon experienced joy in talking to new cancer patients and saw how God was using her life experiences to help others. Debbie returned to college and got a degree in social work. While she was in her third year, she found out that she had breast cancer on the other side. Along with family and friends, she had a group of future social workers at her side. Debbie understands personally the needs that others experience as they go through difficulties in their lives. She has been touched by the love that God has shown her through her family and friends in different and unique ways. Debbie's prayer is that her personal experiences will help guide you as you help loved ones through the storm.
