Celebrate Indigenous Resilience - Thirty Eight
Donation protected
In memory of my parents and my older brother I am raising awareness about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people while Celebrating the Resilience of Indigenous Peoples.
100% of the funds raised from this fundraiser will go towards supporting Indigenous women.
My name is Fallon Farinacci, my spirit name is White Thunder Woman. I am a child survivor of MMIWG. At the age of nine, my parents were murdered, while my brothers and I were held hostage for 8 hours, waiting for the RCMP to help. Eleven years later, our family lost my older brother.
At the time of their deaths, my mother was 36, my older brother was 29, and my father was 37 years old. On September 16th, 2021, I surpassed the age my father was when he passed away, making me the oldest member of my family.
Through trauma, pain and sadness, I survived. I am here, using my voice to advocate & bring awareness to MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ people.
Donations from April 15th- May 6th 2024 will be donated to specifically:
Abbey House Transitional Home for Indigenous women
