About Our Organization
A Letter From Our Founder...

P.S. You’re My Hero is an organization that was born out of a family’s tragedy. In November 2010 our family found ourselves going through the unthinkable, a home invasion, murder, and betrayal. From that point on we were thrown into a completely unknown world including the physical, emotional, and financial obstacles of a crime. We were facing the mountain of all mountains that included our new reality, beginning the healing process, attending, and testifying at hearings, trials, and sentencing, and trying to find our new normal.  As a family, we lifted, supported, and carried each other through every step. We were thankful that we had each other and some resources to help support us through.

I would like you to know that It is completely overwhelming being a victim; emotionally, physically, and financially. It is a dark place, a world that people don’t want to talk about or hear about, and not a place that anyone wants to be in. It is because of this, I think, we do not do enough for victims. Victims really don’t want to ask for help, it’s hard. We are already in the most vulnerable of places and now we must purposefully be more vulnerable to get assistance, not happening….
​
It was through this experience that I founded P.S. You’re My Hero… P.S. stands for Paul Skinner, my husband who lost his life in this tragedy. I wanted to find ways to help those, who have been victimized by crime, in the kindest of ways. I relied on my experience and the things that would have been helpful to me in putting together resources and provisions for those affected by crime.

WE WILL PUT VICTIMS FIRST!!

Our Mission

We are a non-profit organization focused on advocating for victims of crimes in St. Clair County, Michigan. We work collaboratively with the Victim's Rights Office of St. Clair County.

At P.S. You're My Hero, our mission is to help those in need by providing financial assistance to crime victims in a variety of ways such as counseling packages, rent and utility assistance, medical bills or food vouchers while attending court hearings.

We receive our funding through sponsorships, donations and annual fundraising events to support our cause.

What We Do
 

Support pkg

Support Packages

One of our main goals is to help carry the burden of a victim directly after a crime and during the trial.  We provide funding  to the St. Clair County Victim’s Rights Unit of the Prosecuting Attorney’s office for their team to access services to help meet the needs of recent victims of crime. Examples of support include assistance for lodging, transportation, food vouchers, and repairing personal items damaged during a crime that are not otherwise covered. 
Comfort room

Comfort Room

Criminal trials can be overwhelming for the victim.  PSYMH helps to maintain a comfortable, private space in the court building for victims and their family during breaks. Light refreshments and meal vouchers are provided to sustain strength during a stressful time. 
Support sessions

Counseling

We are currently offering two packages for counseling. For recent victims of crime and with the guidance of the St. Clair Victim’s Rights team, we offer group sessions concentrating on PTSD and individual counseling sessions with local therapists.

Comfort Dog

There is a special unconditional comfort our furry friends can offer that human interaction cannot. In cooperation with the St. Clair County Victim’s Rights Unit, PSYMH supports the comfort dog, Carbon, by providing his food, treats, toys, and the costs associated with needed veterinary care.

Victim's Rights Office

We work collaboratively with the Victims Rights Office of St. Clair County.
