An Andrews Story:
Hope, Hard Work and Triumph
Eight years ago, Theresa Jack's life was a stark contrast to what it is today. Struggling with the overwhelming grief of losing a baby, she faced a battle with anxiety, major depression, schizophrenia, and PTSD that left her feeling hopeless. At her lowest point, Theresa even attempted to end her life.
