My finances took a severe downturn, and I wasn’t sure what to do anymore. I considered ending and let my wife and kids collect my insurance money and pension.

A friend told me of a Witch he met while vacationing in Mexico, I would soon realize that he was from Atlanta and that was where he was based.

My family and I live about an hour or so South of Atlanta. I requested to see him in person, and though he explained that he no longer met with clients in person due to his son, he agreed to see me. I held nothing back, I laid all of the cards on the table, even my plans to secure the future of my family.

He abruptly halted the conversation and told me that he does not work with anyone who is talking about self harm. I sat there for thirty minutes in silence, I apologized for my stupidity, and I am not sure if he took pity on me or not, but he agreed to help. We worked out a five-year plan, including my eldest son's college education.

I work for the Macon Police Department and had been passed over several times for a promotion. Six weeks to the day of meeting with Phelan, I was called into my boss's office and handed my gold shield, I was promoted to senior detective and given a sizable raise in pay. As I sat there I recall the words Phelan said to me, “ Suicide is a coward's way out, and it is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

I am so happy I met Phelan, he turned my life around. I know I could never introduce you to my family because they would never understand, but I know I hold you and your family in my mind and heart daily. Thank you, Phelan.
