I Need A Lighthouse will be closing its doors at the close of 2021. It has been an honor and privilege to serve the Hampton Roads community over the past 20 years. I am grateful to all of the donors and volunteers that have passionately supported our educational efforts. Heartfelt thanks also to the students who have listened and allowed us to share a message of hope and support. Remember, if you or someone you love is struggling, please reach out for help and support.

Blessings,
