"My therapist helped me process through talking and EMDR. I can say without a doubt that she is the reason why I have been able to close this chapter. I now feel comfortable talking about my experience, and more importantly I FEEL SAFE AGAIN."

- Victoria, former SAC Client

Every donation makes a HUGE difference. This year, we're asking key partners to rally their friends, families, and networks to support survivor healing. Here are examples of what your generosity looks like:

  • $25 - play therapy supplies, helping child survivors regain their voices, confidence & autonomy.
  • $50 - 1 post assault- meeting with an advocate.
  • $150 - 1 crisis therapy session through our First Response Program.
  • $250 - first trauma therapy session for 1 survivor, marking the beginning of their healing journey.
  • $750 - 90 days of advocate care as a survivor pursues justice and navigates the criminal justice system.
  • $1,500 - 2 months of regular, ongoing therapy

Thanks to Victoria & a group of generous donors
Donations will be matched 1:1 up to $10,000

"I cannot emphasize enough how necessary it is to invest in therapy and help for survivors. SAC truly makes people feel safe and heard. People are able to come to SAC and get the help they need, without worrying about the financial burden of expensive therapy. I will forever be grateful to SAC and everything they provided me."

Join us this Sexual Assault Awareness Month to make a life-changing difference for survivors of sexual abuse. Nobody deserves to have their autonomy ripped away from them. With your help, we can ensure survivors like Victoria rediscover their resilience and reclaim their voice, breaking cycles of trauma for themselves and their families.
