With a heart for children coming from rough homes, Pebbles looked to her community and discovered it wasn’t uncommon for children to leave investigative doctors appointments with very little if any dignity. This was in part due to a result of their clothing being taken as evidence of the trauma inflicted on them. In the most practical ways possible, with the help of her family and friends, Pebbles sought to provide simple things to restore this dignity and even bring joy in the midst of most dreary circumstances. As a mother of seven and minister in the Assemblies of God, Pebbles has assembled a team who wants to see no child feels left alone in the darkness of abuse. An incredible speaker who draws on personal experience and observations, Pebbles is available for speaking engagements to raise awareness for this ministry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606f0f0639ea250d58d8ac15/1624899405286-BPHR8XSFC6387TQR3VC1/IMG_0014.JPG Team - Amanda Geisler VP of Growth and Development https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606f0f0639ea250d58d8ac15/1624899315863-V81105OB35K94NCSJ53W/IMG_0007.JPG Team - Darin Thompson Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
