Fund private therapy for survivors of rape.

Hi, my name is jess and I’d love if you could please read, share and if you can - donate. Im here to raise awareness and be a part of supporting a SURVIVOR of rape.

As people may know, On the 11th of December 2022 I was brutally and violently raped. My whole life stopped. I couldn’t move out of bed, I couldn’t continue to live my life. It got a hold of me. I felt as though there was no future for me. Every day felt like 5 and it still does. But one thing that I can admit, therapy helped me more than I thought it could have.

While going through my healing, NHS funded therapy was not an option. I was told the wait list is huge, but not as long as general counselling. It has now been 7 months since my life was turned upside down. 7 months and still no further forward with funded therapy sessions. Luckily for me, I have the support of my friends and family. My parents were in the situation to be able to send me for private therapy sessions every week. Yet, I can’t help but think about all those survivors out there who are not in the same situation as me. Who aren’t so lucky to be sent to private counselling sessions regularly. Who have to wait the 7 plus months to talk about the traumatic events they had to endure. To begin healing. The heart will never heal, but the mind can.

I am doing this to help raise money for struggling survivors. To help them on their path to healing. To provide them with the opportunity to have private sessions. To be able to have a safe space. To be able to talk about their feelings and traumas with someone 7 months earlier than NHS funded sessions.

No one understands how you feel or what you are going through until this happens to YOU. This is why I want to make this change and help. We all deserve to be helped. Wether we have the support or not. I will be the support they are needing.

So please donate as much or as little as you can. You will be helping a victim realise they are a SURVIVOR.
