Firefly Grove — tell your story

Tell the story of a climb you made.

Everyone who has come through something hard is carrying a story that could help someone still in the middle of it. Telling yours here takes about twenty minutes, and it counts — it becomes one light among many, proof that the need is real and that people find their way through.

You'll be interviewed by an automated interviewer — a computer program that listens and asks gentle questions, one at a time. A real person reads and cares for every story afterward. You can speak your answers out loud or type them, take your time, and stop whenever you want.

Before we begin

Plain words, no fine print:

I am 18 or older. I'm sharing my story freely, and I agree that Firefly Grove may record and keep it. Nothing is shared anywhere else without my permission — I'll choose exactly what's allowed at the end, and I can change my mind at any time. I understand the interviewer is an automated program (AI), and that a real person reviews my story afterward.

Your story, your rules

Thank you. One last page — you decide what happens next.

Organizations or programs that helped you

If any group was part of your climb and you'd like them to know your story exists, name them here. Leave blank if no one helped or you'd rather not.

Permissions You may share my story with the organizations I named above. You may share my story publicly using my first name only. You may share my story publicly, anonymously. Keep my story private in the grove for now.

Email (optional)

Only so we can reach you about your own story — or if you ever want it changed or removed.

Your light is in the grove.

Thank you for what you carried here. It will help someone still in the middle of their climb.

One more way to serve: almost everyone you know has a climb of their own. Pass this along to one person whose story deserves a light.
