Laurae

President & Founder

I have enjoyed living in Gunni for 8 years now.  I am a mom with 4 kiddos, who is passionate about Jesus, homesteading, and supporting our peers. 

I have spent 10+ years focused on being a light in dark places and using my own lived experience to support many individuals and families with complex needs struggling through areas such as: crisis, teen pregnancy, domestic violence, loss, and system navigation. Some of my past roles include being the Family Support Partner for Juvenile Services and the Peer Workforce Outreach Coordinator for the Colorado Family Hub. 

Courtney

Secretary

Courtney Anderson serves the Board as Secretary for Guiding Lights, bringing many years of administration with her. She has 4 children and is currently a stay-at-home mom, as well as working remotely as a part-time executive assistant for a financial group. After experiencing the loss of her first child and daughter in 2019 and navigating grief and trauma, she has always felt the pull to help others. Courtney is very excited to join a non-profit and support her community.
