Before I go to bed for the night I just wanted to offer kind words to anyone who might need to hear them tonight. I found the motivation words while surfing tonight and thought they were not only wise but also heartfelt. Goodnight and god bless each of you!

"Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can't prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you're presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power." (The Power Principle, 2012)

Center for the Victims of Torture has been helping victims since 1985. To get help, donate, or volunteer check out their website.

 

I run a respite house for victims of hate crimes and am looking for funding or donations to help cover the costs of respite guests' groceries and their hydro costs.  I am a retired mental health counsellor and live on disability due to a hate crime. Victims Services does little after-care. Many of the long term effects from a hate crime are life altering.

My respite house is on Quadra Island, British Columbia, Canada: an old, former kayaking bed and breakfast resort. The peace and beauty here is incredibly healing.

I cannot afford to tend to victims for more than a few days unless they get immediate employment or income assistance.  This respite house is a last stop - a place stayed at much like a women's safe house.  It is a last refuge for anxious, depressed, homeless or near homeless, and suicidal victims.  So, though I personally cannot afford to feed and house these good people, the need is so great that I am put in a difficult situation. Most of these people are traumatized and functioning poorly by the time they get here. 

If anyone has an idea of how I might acquire funding or donations, I would appreciate hearing about it.  Such a small amount is needed.

Thank you,

Mary Lamont

It's scary. Some people cringe right up if I say those words. Those that bear the same battle scars are all related.

Something like that. Well whatever doesn't kill me, definitely makes me stronger.

At first when I talk to someone, they get sad. But what you don't understand is, it's OK now, because it's over. It's been over for more than two years now

I am learning as I go. My biggest problem was worrying about what his family was thinking. I was sure lies and rumors were flying around. I hate drama, always have. And I sure would hate to be a seed for it.

My kids tried so hard and were a big help. They said not to worry about them, because the truth would come out. I feel like I am always defending myself. Well I had enough.

Of course they were right. I have learned, that as evils try to overcome, stay focused and stay strong. We end up being a rainbow after a fierce storm. Cool, huh?

Writing all over the internet are all pieces of my book which I believe I will entitle, "Behind the Mastermind (of an abuser)".

In talking, chatting, emailing with people all over the country so far (I hope to be able to say 'world' some day), I have told enough of the profile, shocking many of them that someone actually knows, understands, honestly was there, being spat on for example on the floor. Yes, I was there.

I also have not been surprised. These beasts get stronger by degrading decent, caring human beings. I think the common ground for us, is we are wanting to trust, wanting to believe, and actually do feel guilty for the wrong reasons.

I found myself actually apologizing, after being hit. Those who were in the battle know.

The more publishings out there, in my eyes, the more credible I am for someone to reach out to. I have too many things that I want to do.  But at least I want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.

How can I find these people? I pray.

I am a single mother of two boys ages 7 and 10.  I am low income and do not get help from either father.  My sons did not have Christmas last year and I have been trying to obtain assistance this year with no luck.  My sons were victims in a horrific crime 2 years ago, it nearly tore our family apart.  My sons are in therapy and I am struggling with work and getting them to the appointments...and to now have to worry about Christmas is so over-whelming for me.  Please if you can OR if you know anyone that can help my boys have a good Christmas this year, I would be so very greatful and thankful to you.

 

Thank You,

 

A loving mother... Melinda 

I am setting this up, because, I read over and over women needing help. I am also in a situation. I got lucky, I got a personal assisting, job, almost.

Anyway, why can't all women looking for a way out, look to each other? For resources,  to share rent, to move, each to a certain place to pair up, and share rent, etc., ???

The US gov. has cut the budget to help victims of dometic violence by 50%, an already wobbly budget at that. We need to hook up with each other....and I mean others who have been abused too. Why not seek each other out, and help each other for real? I would be willing to move, to help with bills, to find shelter, and I am a good person....it is getting to be like that. Lets do it, come on ladies, participate, leave ideas, etc. What do you think?
