You are our Why – Founder’s Story

My name is Kim Hutson. In March 2015, I got the call that no one ever expects. “You have cancer” was the shocking announcement from my doctor’s office. One minute, I was healthy, and the next, well, I might die. Waves of emotion came and went as I tried to digest the news. Shock gave way to fear, which led to panic. What will I tell my family? How will they react? If they cry, I’m going to cry.

As panic gave way to numbness, I researched this breast cancer disease. Life moved in slow motion as I weighed the many confusing options. Apparently, it was up to me to make all the decisions when I was the least educated to do so! I felt so alone even in the midst of the crowd of people around me. I couldn’t discuss my fears with my family and friends. Somehow, I thought I had to emotionally support THEM.

I found that it was easier to talk to others who had been sick previously. I met some sweet people who never tired of my questions. They understood my need to talk about hard subjects like treatments, side effects, and “what-ifs.” My hope is that this group, Hope Anchored, would be that support for you.

We believe in the power of Jesus Chris to heal. We will pray with you if you like, and we will pray for you. Our primary focus is your health, healing, and wholeness.
