In Florence, S.C., Gaye Allen-Cook sees dozens of clients, from preschoolers to teens. Most have been physically or sexually abused. Some have witnessed brutal violence in their homes.

Her story is the latest in The Duke Endowment’s “Profiles of Service” series, which highlights “behind-the-scene” staff and volunteers at grantee organizations across the Carolinas.
