Othar Hansson
I'll be at "Walk to Remember 2012" in memory of my father (Othar) and first wife (Elly I-Chun Lin).  Just over 10 years ago, I-Chun died by suicide after decades of struggles with depression.  I called Kara the next day (thanks to the advice of a police chaplain), and started 1-on-1 peer counseling and joined a support group.

Along with a few close friends and family, Kara was one of the main sources of support during what was the most difficult time in my life.  I'm very grateful, and quickly came back to Kara as a volunteer, helping to run groups in the Youth & Family program.  I also served on Kara's board for about 8 years, including roles as Treasurer and Board President.

My story has been repeated, with variations, in thousands of families and individuals that Kara has served. 

Remember those who grieve, and those they grieve for.  Join me in the walk or make a donation to keep these services available to others.
