Giving

I told you a while back that I was going to be looking for a new place to give all the money I’ve raised, what little there is, plus some of my own. It wasn’t that I didn’t like the Prevent Child Abuse America organization, it was more that I felt like I gave to a large, nationwide organization and that was that. I did, however find that the local Prevent Child Abuse Ohio chapter is a partner with the Children’s Hospital Child and Family Advocacy Center here in Columbus, so this year, I think the donation will go directly there. Thanks to everyone who has either used my CafePress store as a referrer for their store, or made an Amazon purchase through my affiliate links, I’ll be making a $35 donation there later this week. (Unless there’s a sudden burst of income over there, in which case it will go up accordingly. *grin*)

    I was reading Carolyn’s comment on that last post, and she used a term I’d been thinking about lately, “damaged goods.” Are we, as child abuse survivors, damaged goods? To a certain extent, we are. Being victimized like that as a child leaves long-lasting impressions and issues. On the other hand, it’s not exactly a…

    I got an email the other day from a fellow survivor who had tried to start a Meetup group of survivors in his area.  My name is Timothy and I’m a survivor of child abuse.  I’m contacting you from Dupage county IL.  About four months ago I started a support group and let it grow…
