Pushing forward to pay it forward!!!!!!!!

Pushing forward with our dreams to share hope with others and to pay it forward.

After learning about the abuse of my daughter, I knew without a shadow of a doubt there was a greater purpose for my life and her life. Sexual abuse healing has a plethora of layers to peel back and a multitude of complexities that often are never addressed. We want to be part of the solution and help meet the unmet needs of victims and their families. My family has traveled forward on our path of healing, but clearly the journey continues. We have reached a crossroads where the path has a fork in the road. Our decision is to bring a message of hope for others who have experienced the traumas of sexual abuse. My daughter, a Warrior Princess, and I want to share this message of hope. Together, we are embarking on a journey of taking our message on the road as public speakers. This goal and ambition has become a fundamental part of why we are here on this earth and the path we have chosen post abuse.

We all have experienced betrayal at some level in our life time. The betrayal we experienced was profound and temporarily paralyzing. Today, we have been set free and choose to help others find this freedom. The caterpillar metaphor is extremely symbolic because there are moments in every one's life where one feels trapped in a chrysalis, unable to move in any direction. In our case, there was a period of time where the wings had to grow before we could break free from the chrysalis and fly free like a butterfly. Our wings are fully formed; our hearts have experienced healing and our message is hope.

This message of hope we want to bring to other survivors and to parents/guardians of survivors is unique because this message is coming from a mother and daughter team. Typical of all great endeavors, there are obstacles to overcome. The biggest obstacle we are navigating around is the need for funding to take our message across the country. This post is a request for help from anyone who feels in their heart this mission is a worthy cause. We would like to invite you to visit our GoFundme link if you have a heartfelt desire to assist us. We are grateful for any and all contributions and promise to make a difference in the lives of sexual abuse victims.

With warm thanks,
Janeen and Arianna
