Peg Curtiss

GOAL-$3,000

Peg is 55 years old. She loves modeling, acting, singing, crafting, coloring, her 2 wonderful cats, and writing.

Peg has been affected by mental illness since a young child. Growing up being overweight didn't help the matter. She always dreamed of being a model, singer and actress but her physical appearance got in the way, this added to her depression and anxiety. She isolated and exhibited self destructive behavior. If there had been a NAMI Basics back then Peg believes things would have gotten better much sooner. But thanks to taking
Peer to Peer in 2014 she became involved with Nami, becoming a Peer to Peer teacher, Connections facilitator and state trainer, and In Our Own Voice presenter. And this is her 3rd year modeling for OTM so her dream of modeling has come true!
