Finding Strength in Shared Struggles: Embracing Compassion

Everyone has a unique story, and this is the space for you to share yours.

In a world that often seems divided, our shared struggles become a powerful force that brings us together, forging connections that uplift and inspire. 

Remember, you are not alone!

In unity, we find strength and understanding, drawing on the profound forces of compassion and empathy born from our shared experiences.

Together, I Need Blue offers helping hands, supportive shoulders, and hearts that truly understand. 

Join me on this collective journey of openness and empathy as we navigate life's challenges, demonstrating that in our struggles, we are never truly alone.

If you are ready to share, here are options.

"It was a typical Saturday night. As the Store Manager, I oversaw the night shift with a lone sales associate. Our focus was on women's clothing, shoes, and accessories, and I relished meeting new ladies and helping them feel beautiful. The store bustled with seven customers, including children, and ladies occupied the fitting rooms in search of their Easter dresses. I felt a sense of normalcy as I engaged with a customer and her granddaughter while observing another with her energetic boys.

Suddenly, my world shifted. Without warning, a commanding voice behind me pierced the air, demanding, "Give me all your money." The words hung in the air as I processed the threat. Again, the command echoed in a more menacing tone, "Give me all your money." I turned around, only to find a masked man wielding a gun, pointing it directly at me. The firearm was alarmingly close, within arm's reach.

My gaze locked onto the gun, its ominous presence impossible to ignore. I shifted my eyes to meet his, then back to the weapon. At that moment, I had to make a quick decision. Without hesitation, I turned away and briskly walked to the register, stealing a glance behind me. The robber brandished the gun, coercing the customers to follow my lead. The urgency of the situation underscored the fragility of the seemingly ordinary night, transforming it into a harrowing experience."

In 2012, this began my story. Pictured is me in the backroom where the abduction  occurred. This picture was taken 10 days before it became a crime scene. 

In 2021, I heard a new voice behind me, "It is time to share your story, Jen." This is the moment I Need Blue was born.
