About this episode

Stacy’s daughter Erin was bullied and excluded by her peers because she had autism, which led to taking her own life at 16 years old. Only four days later, Stacy and her husband Darren heroically decided that they would do everything in their power to prevent any other family from going through this. Their non-profit, Erin’s Hope for Friends, opened a physical location called “e’s Club” where more than 400 teens and young adults with autism go on the weekends and build friendships.
