Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. The Birchall Trust have been there from the onset of my flashbacks of childhood abuse, right through to when I reported these to the police (as well as the devastating injustice that brought me to my knees thereafter).

My therapist Jan was like a safety net; helping me back up to my feet time and time again when I found myself hitting rock bottom and no longer wanted to be alive. She helped me find the strength within myself to rise from my pit of hell and was my saving grace as I built myself a brand new life on a much more solid foundation.

That's why I want to do whatever I can to help raise funds for this incredible organisation- so they can continue to offer guidance to others who need their invaluable support and wisdom on their path towards healing.
