The Samaritan Conversations

Darren and Stacy Horst co-founded Erin's Hope for Friends https://erinshopeforfriends.org to carry out the legacy of their daughter, Erin. Within days of Erin's suicide, Darren and Stacy committed that Erin's legacy would be defined by how she lived her life--being kind and helpful to others--not by her last act. They committed to providing a place for kids like Erin (talented but may appear socially different) to create lasting relationships. E's Club has created a community for teens at the higher end of the Autism Spectrum.
