"I got so much more than just a care package from the Warrior in HER. I felt heard, understood, and like someone really cares and wants to help. I actually got out and enjoyed the sun and blue sky. Sometimes all it takes is for another wonderful lady to set with you and completely show support. I'm so extremely excited about being a warrior and to also bring awareness to the area about woman's mental health and chronic illnesses. For the first time in many years, I am thinking positive about my conditions and I honestly believe that this wonderful support for women in Mercer County will absolutely help so many of us in our struggles to feel better. Thank you so much for my care package from the Warrior in HER. Can't wait to really get involved in such an amazing project." -Jenn Noe, Undiagnosed Chronic Illness and Mental Health Warrior, 39, Sharpsville
