Honor

“I cry every day for the pain my son has to endure and Sonrise has provided me with a community that honors the lives of young Black men”

Life Changing

“The Sonrise Project has changed my life.”

Moving Beyond Helplessness

“Before I began participating in Sonrise, I felt completely hopeless and helpless. That is not a safe place to be. I no longer feel hopeless and I'm slowly moving beyond helpless. We still have a long way to go, but at least I'm not giving up.”

Transparency

“I appreciate your transparency and honesty.”

Safe Space

“I appreciate having a safe space to listen, learn, and help my son.”

Moving

“Your closing prayers move me to tears.”

Appreciation

“I have really appreciated the calls and the expert advice”

Releasing Feeling Judged

“Having these family issues is hard and I’ve felt judged by everyone - until Sonrise. Thank you!”

Not Alone

“I want to express my gratitude for the Sonrise Project. The Sonrise Project is a large part of why I'm able to make it through each week. If I feel down, I listen to replays of the sessions. It makes a difference to know I'm not alone and to know that if I'm really struggling with something, I just have to wait until Sunday morning to speak up and ask my question...with no judgment. “

Right On Time

“It means so much to know that we are not alone! As Black parents, we first went to "What did I do to make this happen? Where did I screw up?" to "What's wrong with this kid?!?" Then (for us) we realized it's not our parenting that caused our child's body to develop a chemical imbalance. We also got more information on family history around depression and anxiety. Your program is right on time!!!”
