Dear Jen and Megan, thanks so much.
Megan, I met you last Saturday at Moraga Valley Pres. I was part of the 1st Pres Berkeley delegation. Thanks for coming up to talk with us. I’ve just finished Secret Survivors, what stories, thank you and your storytellers for sharing. So hard to look pain straight in the face. Thank you for not wasting your hurt.
Blessings,
Genevieve
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Gretchen Paules and I am the Administrative Director for a newly formed nonprofit called the Let Go…Let Peace Come In Foundation. Our mission at LGLPCI is to help heal and support adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse worldwide. We are actively seeking adult survivors who would be willing to post their childhood photo & caption, their story, or their creative expressions to our website http://www.letgoletpeacecomein.org. We also have a youtube video that can be watched at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4PDC03Gl2k. By uniting survivors from around the globe we hope to provide a stronger and more powerful voice to those survivors who have not yet found the courage to speak out or have been cast aside with disbelief.
I am writing to you today to ask you to please consider sharing our website with adult survivors you may come in contact with. It is through the support of courageous advocates like you that we will succeed in our effort to help one survivor at a time. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me directly at gretchen@letgoletpeacecomein.org. Together we can; together we should; together we NEED to stand up and be counted.
Warmest Regards,
Gretchen Paules
