MeChale Fisher-Gilmore grew up in “The  Hole" in Duarte, California, a cul de sac community of twenty three families  that gives true meaning to the African Proverb, “It takes a village to raise a  child.” At first  glance, the Fisher’s beautifully manicured lawn, rose garden,  and swimming pool make passersby wish they lived there. However, once inside,  you bear witness to the family’s dysfunction. Her mother Rose, a well respected  member of the local Baptist church, retired school aide, and the best baker in  town, struggled with alcoholism. Her father George, a hard-working, yet  care-free man, never saw a horse that couldn’t win. Her older brother Ronnie,  committed suicide with a gunshot wound to the head in the family driveway. Her  brother Charles has battled drug and alcohol addiction for over 30 years and  counting. Through it all, she has dealt with abusive relationships in her  teenage years, later in  marriage, and betrayal on the dating scene. A few years ago MeChale knew something  terrible was going on inside her mind and body. After her first institutionalization she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Seven  institutionalizations later she has come to grips with the stigma of mental  illness and God has given her the strength to move forward. Her journey is the  motivation for this project which she hopes will heal others facing similar  family challenges and demonstrate that mental illness is not the end  all, but  the beginning of a new life lived differently. MeChale is an overcomer in every sense of the word and is on a mission to spread her message,  “There is no  shortcut to bipolar disorder, yet with God all things are  possible.”
