My name is Greg a little over two years ago I found FOY. At that time I was struggling. I had recently retired from the Ventura county Fire Dept and I was suffering with deeply painful PTSD. My life had become unmanageable. Darkness and despair were stalking me daily. I was planning on ending my life. I had been to several councilors. They all suggested medications. For me this felt like trading one problem for another problem. I needed something sustainable. When I first walked in to FOY I was greeted with warmth and compassion, they had a different method. I learned about mindfulness, I learned to breathe and to be present in my own life. I was given actual tools that helped me begin to heal. I was inspired by others who were there seeking peace. My life was changed. My life was literally saved. Today I am filled with peace. Today I am a new. It was not an easy road to walk but FOY helped me begin my journey today pain and despair are replaced with Joy. Thank you FOY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
