“The funding that I received through HeadQuarters changed my life. I was going through a very hard time and I had no one to turn to. Working with my therapist gave me the tools I needed to overcome my past trauma and move forward to a happy and productive life. I reconnected with friends and family and gained the support and confidence in myself that I had lost. I am eternally grateful for the support! Kelly, Aspen CO
