INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH TRANSFORMATION
“I would sit on the front stoop for hours waiting for him to show up. He would never show up.”
When Dillon Shaw was a little boy, he'd go outside and stare up at the night sky. The world faded away as he marveled at the ordered, twinkling expanse above him. Dillon dreamed of being an astronomer someday. But within the walls of his home, life wasn’t about beauty or dreams—it was about survival.
From the time he was 5 years old, Dillon experienced verbal, physical, and sexual abuse. His father, a Vietnam veteran, struggled with an addiction that he hid from the family. Dillon's family attended weekly services at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints congregation, but their daily life was violent and chaotic.
