It all started with a bat…
In June 2020, our community faced a profound loss with the passing of our beloved member, known to us as Kame Bat. To describe her simply as a “giver” falls far short of capturing her spirit. She was a steadfast friend to all, ensuring no one ever felt like a stranger among us. Her kindness, generosity, and willingness to support any endeavor were boundless, and her presence was universally cherished. When she departed, she left a void in our hearts and in our community that words cannot fully convey. It was in the shadow of this loss that the vision of Echoes Within began to take shape, as a tribute to her enduring legacy.
