Hi, everyone. I'm 13 years old. I want to tell you all that sexual abuse can happen to anyone. Sometimes you feel worthless, insecure, stressed, scared, angry, and fearful all at the same time. This is a place not only to share my story, but for women everywhere to be able to connect with someone. I see all of my family, friends, even strangers, and look at all these strong, beautiful women, and I wonder why men choose-and yes they choose- to harm us. We are powerful. It's time to end ignorance of abuse. It's time to end blame for abuse. Everyone that goes through this can get better. It's been almost a year since I told my mom that I was molested by my own father. That I was scared to visit him again. I'm not saying it's easy-far from it. I know it's difficult going through both the experience and the prosecution-but we, as a gender, need to speak up and be heard. This is sort of a continuation of my RAINNmaker page, but in a format that can be updated easier and more can be said. Thank you to all the support I've gotten!

It's for donating to other survivors of sexual abuse and keeps hotlines open.
