So impressed with your story
I just returned back to Houston after attending the National Charity League convention in Seattle where I attended your seminar. I was so impressed with your story that it became one of the first things I told my 14 year old daughters about, even before I unpacked my suitcase! Your message of empowerment and following your passion was so inspirational that I could not wait to tell them about it. Both of them thought we should get your DVD to use to teach our chapter members your safety techniques and should become a grade level requirement.
Thank you for being such an incredible mother to such an obviously outstanding daughter.
I read about the wonderful JYF project in my latest People magazine, and immediately had to check out your website. I watched with horror the videotaped abduction of Carly Brucia, and made my 14 year-old daughter watch it as well. This is truly a parent's worst nightmare.
Thank you for this important work.
I train and teach Soo Bahk Do in the Mount Vernon Washington area. While looking at one of our regional web sites, www.camaskarate.com there was an article on Just Yell Fire and how it was created.
I'd personally like to thank you and all involved for providing awareness to not only women but people of all ages. Awareness is an important key.
I've recently been asked to provide self defense training to my fellow co workers (nurses) and their children.
I look forward to sharing my information and requesting all attendees watch your video-then pay it forward to family, friends and loved ones. It's this type of crucial information that should be required viewing (and learning) in all schools.
What a gift it would be to each and every recipient!
Again, thank you to all for creating such an important film. May it travel around the world and touch the lives of millions!
So pleased to know you and your work
This is a comment sent in to our trainers Leila Rae Sommerfeld and Valerie Mainridge of Gresham, OR
Thank you again from our entire team! You and Valerie did such a fabulous job. Several of our volunteers commented at the end that your traiing was the best self-defense class they had ever taken - and several had attended classes in the past. you adapted your presentation to fit perfectly into our time constraints and skill level. You and Valerie brought such great energy and enthusiasm to our class. We especially appreciate you taking time on a Sunday. We feel empowered to continue to advocate for sexually exploited women in and around Portland.
We are so pleased to know you and your work. I hope this is only the beginning of our partnership.
Thank you so much for the DVD. I hope your valuable message spreads all across the country! God Bless!
I just used some of your organization's history in my end of course sum up for my word processing and computer tech classes. My overall message this year has been to encourage my middle school aged students to use the tools being learned to find their voice and to be heard.
After I send this email out I plan on purchasing your book to use in future classes.
Thank you for being such a great role model to my students who are told by society and by education in general to sit down and be quiet far too often.
Sincerely,
Calvin
