Today’s news story that Susan Pavlak, long time SNAP supporter and survivor advocate, is donating a kidney to Phil Saviano is poignant and powerful in itself but the kind of thing I see survivors daily doing for others who have been wounded or in need. I have been honored to work with survivors of abuse for over two decades and every day I see and bear witness to survivors who have courage and generosity of spirit that is an inspiration to me. Susan Pavlak’s donating of her kidney to Phil Saviano is perhaps to some a dramatic example of generosity, but it’s a typical gesture that I see every day where members of SNAP and other survivors of abuse connect with one another to support each other and give of themselves in so many ways to do what they can to help others in need and protect the vulnerable. I just want to say I am inspired and grateful to Susan Pavlak and every survivor like her who has found the courage and the generosity of spirit to take action to help our brothers and sisters. Kudos to Susan Pavlak, Phil Saviano and every wounded healer that is a part of a shared journey, mission and a purposeful life.
