As a little boy, I fell in love with a girl on a blue lagoon...
Being a survicor of abuse, I escaped in a world of make believe. I played some "Risky Business" and fell in love on a "Blue Lagoon." Instead of keeping my torment inside, I penned it all in letters to the people in that world that somehow made it all o.k. Those letters soon were answered and phone calls followed. I survived an experience that claims i in 4 boys and 3 out of 5 girls. While many never find the strength to heal, I escaped because someone I admired cared enough to help the healing.
Rather than holding in a traumatic experience, I was able to let it go, and in doing so, it became situational and not life altering.
ChildHope was conceptualized back in 1989 because the power of a celebrity can save the life of a child, and I thank Brooke for mine. That concept led to the development of a national 501 c3 non profit called, The KathyRinaldiHope Foundation.
