A Crisis Happens
Crisis means many things to many people. Your entire neighborhood washed away in a flood, being ravaged by wildfires, or lost in a tornado. A routine check-up coming back with the dreaded words “you have cancer.” A car accident that leaves you impaired or hospitalized for an extended period of time
