 I'm on a mission to try and make a big difference with your help! Let's talk about a really important issue – child sexual abuse. It's a topic we don't often discuss, but it's time to change that. Did you know that according to a 2003 National Institute of Justice research, 3 out of 4 teenagers who have experienced sexual assault were abused by someone they knew well? That's a scary statistic. Every year, 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys become victims of child sexual abuse. It's even scarier to think that many cases go unreported. Experts believe that the actual numbers are way higher than what's officially documented. Now, I'm not someone who's experienced this kind of trauma, but I believe that we should all stand together to support those who have. It's heartbreaking to imagine what they've been through, and it's time for us to take action and help them build a new, fearless life. Child sexual abuse is not just something that happens in the present moment. It has long-term consequences that can affect a person for their entire life. As Lorraine Nilon wisely said, "Abuse is never contained to a present moment, it lingers across a person's lifetime and has pervasive long-term ramifications." So, I've started this fundraising campaign, and I want you to join me on this incredible journey. We want to raise funds to support organizations and individuals who are working tirelessly to raise awareness about child sexual abuse. Our goal is to educate both children and adults and give them a voice. But we can't do this alone. We need your help, and every little bit counts. Whether it's a small or large contribution, it all adds up to make a big difference. Your donation will go toward educating children and empowering them to speak out. Together, we can make this cause fun and welcoming. Let's turn a serious topic into an opportunity for positive change. Join me in making a world where child sexual abuse is a thing of the past and where children can grow up safe and happy. So, what do you say? Will you be a part of our mission to HEAL? Your contribution can help create a safer and brighter future for countless children. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. Together, we can make a real difference.
