Haley Rose Horzepa Three years ago on a snowy February morning, Hayley could not take living a lie anymore. She had spent countless nights on the phone calling 800 numbers talking to counselors via rape and domestic violence hotlines. Being a victim of rape and domestic violence was a secret she kept to herself for ten years, and now one of the counselors was calling her house and refusing to leave her alone until she got help. Since that morning Hayley has worked diligently to overcome the emotional scars and trauma that rape and domestic violence leaves behind while sharing her story as a way of helping others. She no longer considers herself a victim, but a survivor.
