Keynote Speaker: An incredible survivor is joining us to tell her story. (Let's call her A) A has gone from living some of the worst horrors imaginable, to crossing state lines with nothing but the clothes she was wearing, to building a beautiful life for herself. She is an inspiration to us all here at Lotus, and we hope you will be in awe of her as much as we are! A is not just a survivor, she is a thriver.

This is sure to be a beautiful evening full of Hope, you won't want to miss it!
