Please help. With just $5 you can make a difference! 😊
It's $5 Friday again!!! Every Friday in April we'll bring you a new story and ask you to donate just $5!
Goal: $300
SUSOSDA wants to fill in the gaps for the men, women, children and elderly out there who are unable to help themselves due to domestic violence in the home.
We are a new nonprofit with big dreams of having an entire community of survivors helping each other, furthering their education, getting all the help they need to live a self sustained life free from abuse!
But we need your help!!! A small start to help with the deposit on a building that will serve as a crisis center, counseling center and generally a safe place for victims to go to seek help. (among other things, like after school care, job training etc)
This is just one of the millions of faces of domestic abuse, it also happens to be mine. My name is Kathy Sweeney and I founded and run this nonprofit.
There were many beatings, this is a picture of one. There were also many other forms of punishment for doing or not doing whatever was deemed required by my abuser. Of course, I was never given instruction as to what it was I was supposed to or not supposed to do, I simply received the punishment. Always walking on egg shells, always afraid for myself and my children. Never knowing if the next hit would be the one that killed me.
I'm one of the lucky ones, I survived. I have permanent injuries such as a traumatic brain injury, nerve damage, seizures, CPTSD and others that I will have to live with for the rest of my life. But, I have my life when so many don't.
Please help me to save people, families, and change lives for the better. Please help make it so that no-one ever has to endure abuse and have nowhere to turn. There is so little help out there for victims of domestic violence, none in some places. This nonprofit will change that and hopefully, in the future, there will be one in every state of our nation, so that no man, woman, child or elderly person is left at the mercy of their abuser with no place to turn to for help.
LET'S CHANGE THE WORLD TOGETHER!! $5 AT A TIME!
You can donate your $5 here, through Facebook, on our website, SUSOSDA.ORG or via PayPal at PayPal.me/donatetohelpvictims
I'm working on adding Venmo to the list as I've heard from our younger generation that it's easier, but that's going to take some time as I have to go through the process of becoming a nonprofit with them........But I'll do my best to get it done soon!
PS: Would you please like and share this post? Even if you can't donate, you can still help by spreading the word! ( and the algorithms like us better when we're liked and shared )
I appreciate and thank every one of you!! Have a blessed day!
