At the age of only sixteen, William Michael found himself drowning in a deep and overwhelming depression. Each day felt heavier than the last, and the world around him seemed to offer no hope, no light, and certainly no promise of a better future. His heart was burdened with questions no one seemed to answer, and his soul ached with a longing he couldn't explain. He felt invisible-trapped in silence, yearning to be seen, to be heard, to be loved.

But everything changed when a youth pastor stepped into his life. It wasn't with fanfare or drama but with quiet compassion and an unwavering presence. That relationship marked the beginning of a powerful turning point. Through this divine appointment, William was introduced to a love he had never known-a love that didn't just mend the broken pieces but offered him a brand new beginning. For the first time, he felt seen. He felt known. And more than anything, he felt free.
