Support for Valerie Cohen
Donation protected
Valerie is a warrior, being of service to those in need. And now, she is in desperate need of support after surviving multiple hit job attempts and the most recent attack, 2 pit bulls ripped her face apart and leaving her with a broken nose, eye socket and traumatic brain injury.
She initially moved to Costa Rica in 2019 seeking a new start after having experienced multiple extreme police brutality incidences as a freedom fighter.
She followed Spirits call to those lands that at the time were on fire due to deforestation and depopulation of the indigenous and wild life and rather than donating money, she went there by herself to be of service, raise awareness and support those in need.
She founded non-profit 501c3, Conscious Colectivo (sponsored by Everyday Hero Project), in which she has been producing fund raising festivals, conscious music production, herbalism and alternative healing classes, and performance arts to help inspire, educate and build international conscious community.
She soon became a haven for women and children who have been victims of domestic violence, rape and abuse survivors, sex traffick victims and holistic rehabilitation support for addicts to support and hold space and guidance in their healings and get back on their feet physically, mentally and spiritually.
The reason she is able to help these people in need, is because she has personally gone through all of this and was able to heal herself using specific practices, routines and herbs that she used to cure herself.
When she was in need of support many years ago, there was no one there for her. So she made it her goal to always be there for those struggling with any traumatic experiences so no one has to go through what she has been through alone.
and is under spiritual warfare, to say the least.
On Sept 18th, 2023 she was intentionally attacked by a man with two aggressive pitbulls while she was meditating on the beach.
She has been struggling in legal battles for a year fighting for her life and property, money & assets that were stolen from her "ex" who scammed her for her entire life savings and all assets and has been trying to get her killed so he doesn't face jail time.
After the dog attack she was in critical condition, unable to walk, talk, or care for herself at all due to a traumatic brain Injury, infection, broken nose and eye socket.
She was finally rescued out of Costa Rica (by the Department of Defense organization) to get proper medical attention in the U.S. and is trying to fight her battle for her home and all of her belongings from abroad.
Having fled she left behind her home, cars, and all other assets and belongings other than a suitcase and her service dog who was also badly attacked and in need of medical attention.
Any funds provided here will directly go towards helping her pay off medical bills and getting all basic needs back in order (i.e., housing & transportation and a safe space to recover).
Her goal is to get back up on her feet, find the resources that can help her situation financially and continue being of service to those in need.
Once fully recovered she will be repositioning her NGO to specifically help women and children, working side by side with teams that are rescuing the children and women in the sex trafficking business and is trying to open safe houses for them to make a full recovery and be fully nourished and loved.
Any support in the form of donations and/or resources/referrals are welcome. Examples of types of resources that are needed:
Trusted/Known organizations that help victims of international crimes with recovery efforts and international lawyers (Costa Rica specifically)
Experts in the following fields who may want to donate time and expertise for the repositioning process of the non-profit and finding safe houses for the survivors to recover.
