MY STORY
My name is Lori Ellen Poland, I am a survivor of childhood abuse, and yet, I am so much more as well.
My story began in 1983 at the age of 3 when I was abducted from my front yard and taken to the foothills of Colorado. After being sexually abused, I was placed 15 feet beneath the ground inside of an outhouse toilet cesspit.
I was left for 3.5 days when bird watchers heard me crying and I was rescued.
While I was found and reunited with my family, the effects of my abuse did not end that day. 37 years later my kidnapping continues to play a large role in my life. Some days for the good, others it’s hard.
Yet every day, I work intentionally to live a life of love, authenticity and connection. I will share this message with the world so more can find healing too.
