NAMIWALKS for the Mind of America
Location:
NAMI KERN COUNTY,
BAKERSFIELD, CA 93561
I will be walking to raise funds for NAMI on Oct. 11 I have been involved with NAMI of Kern & Tehachapi ever since my son Joseph Fincher started showing signs of mental illness. I can state with all honesty that NAMI saved my son by teaching him coping skills and getting him to the resources to help him medically and financially through the difficult years. NAMI taught my husband and myself how to cope as well and more importantly to understand the illness and what Joe was dealing with day to day. I cannot say enough about this organization. They have created a wonderful service to the community of parents, sons & daughters trying to help a loved one who suffers from mental illness. If you or anyone you know would like to sponsor me for NAMI WALKS I will send the information to you. Joe is now deceased but I cannot walk away from the organization that has done so much for us. 5 comments from 3 users
