She encourages me constantly and shows tough love when needed! She is not scared of the truth and tells me like it is.
Stephanie is the epitome of one who goes the extra mile to help others. I credit her mostly for actually saving my life. She called me on many occasions to check to see if I was alive (literally). At other times, she stayed on the phone with me when I was drunk and suicidal more than once. She called in health checks by the police, which pissed me off, but I am now super grateful. She keeps tabs on me to make sure I show up to my recovery groups. She encourages me constantly and shows tough love when needed! She is not scared of the truth and tells me like it is.

How does one describe another who literally saved a hopeless suicidal man's life? That man is (was) me, and Stephanie deserves recognition. I'm sure there are many, many others she has helped.
