Parent Panel — David and Laura Hutchins

David and Laura Hutchins are the parents of a Prodigal. They have lived through the many facets of caring and decision making and changes that come with loving a Prodigal, but their son, Ben, still struggled.

They are still on the road of grieving Ben, who died tragically on September 30, 2023. They are just starting to understand what God wants them to share with other kids and parents. They have a message of HOPE to families with complex loss. There is stigma attached to losing a child from an overdose or drug related death. David and Laura look to their Savior to provide the anchor in the storm of stigmatized loss and as they carry this message to others.
