Bridget Gibson, CPA

Treasurer

When her only child, DaJuan, was murdered in July of 2002, Bridget was lost. She had no idea how she could make it through the horrible pain and devastation that faced her. Her dear friend, Kyle, knew about Survivor Resources and she took Bridget to her first group meeting. Survivor Resources saved her. Through their first hand knowledge of this type of loss and with unending empathy and great strength, Survivor Resources helped Bridget walk through the entire process and helped her find how to live in this world without her son. She was blessed by this group and because of that, she gives back. For the last three years Bridget has been a homicide group facilitator and now serves as Treasurer on Survivor Resources' Board of Directors. Her goal is to give to others what was given to her.
