Story
I am fundraising for Rape Crisis England & Wales to stand in solidarity with victims and survivors of sexual violence and abuse.
I’m stepping out for everyone who has had so much taken away from them because of sexual violence or abuse, I’m stepping out for every child exploited, for every child who had their childhood taken away and for every adult unable to make any sense of what came before.
I’m stepping out for those that have had to tell their story over and over again, for those that still have it all locked inside and for a beautiful friend who lost her life before she ever got to tell her story.
I step in solidarity with all those whose lives have been devastated, those who campaign tirelessly and for those that just have silent hope that one day we and our children will be safe from sexual abuse and violence.
Thank you so much for all the donations so far, and to the anonymous donators, whoever you are thank you 💜💚
