What Had Happened Was: Heather Salazar imagined dying in front of her kids
Heather Salazar feared her kids were going to see her die.
And she had reason to fear.
Just a year before, the young mother and her kids watched breast cancer kill the 24-year-old woman who gave life to the baby girl the family adopted.
A year later, the murder had its sights on Heather.
Through faith, friendship and community support, Heather pushed through, beating breast cancer and building the Pink Ribbon Girls, one of the areas most well-known breast cancer groups.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but the Pink Ribbon Girls work year round to provide meals, housing cleaning services, rides and peer support for women fight break and gynecological cancers regardless of income.
Heather shares her family's triumphant story with “What Had Happened Was” podcast host Amelia Robinson. She and Sarah explain why hot meals and free rides to appointments are a far bigger deal than many of us consider and why things don’t always happen for a reason.
