The CK Daily – CK Giving, Freedom Path Counseling
Happy Tuesday!
Freedom Path Counseling is one organization that CK partnered with in 2022. The organization may seem familiar, as we highlighted it before in our 2021 giving. Freedom Path was founded by Chad, a former CK team member, and his wife, Heidi. They offer a variety of counseling services on a “pay what you can afford” model subsidized through donations. They serve the same area where the CK office and many of our team members are located. They do a great job of keeping their donors informed about what is happening throughout the year, and in one of their newsletters defined their purpose this way:
“Freedom Path Counseling exists to see transformation in the lives of hurting people. We provide critical counseling services for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in English, Spanish, and Creole. We believe healing opens the door to freedom from destructive behaviors, victory over life’s difficult circumstances, and the restoration of relationships. Through counseling, we join those struggling in the process of moving from frustration, anxiety, depression, and hopelessness to having a clear plan for creating a life characterized by inner joy and true peace.”
As a business, we are resource generation engines, and organizations such as Freedom Path need resources to provide the services that they do. By partnering together, they are able to focus on their mission, and we are able to experience the joy of giving along with being a part of something that is making a difference in our community. We’re looking forward to a continued relationship with Chad, Heidi and the Freedom Path team in 2023!
