My Ascension:
A series of miracles saved Emma Benoit’s life, but the self-inflicted gunshot wound resulted in a spinal cord injury that left her paralyzed. Although extremely tragic, the incident propelled her on a mission to use her painful experience and miraculous recovery to help others find hope and live.
If you or someone you know needs help, call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 or text the Crisis Text Line — HELLO to 741741.
