Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for your generous donations that enabled us to reprint the book, Reaching the Hurting! I’m happy to report the book is now back in stock and available for purchase.
We have the opportunity to exhibit at quite a few events this year and next, some of which require payment now to reserve the exhibit space. Exhibits are so important, as they open up the possibility of sharing with many thousands of people who would otherwise not know about The Hope of Survivors. We have never had an exhibit where a victim of clergy sexual abuse has not found us for the first time and been so happy to do so! In addition to being there for victims, we are providing much-needed education and awareness to church members and leaders while there. Here are some of the events in 2019-2020:
Pathfinder Camporee (approx. 50,000 youth) – $480*
SheSpeaks (approx. 1,000 attendees) – $5,000
AACC World Conference (approx. 7,000 attendees) – $2,000*
Hope & Healing Victim’s Conference (in TN) – $2,500
Church of God Women’s Convention (approx. 1,000) – $1,000
General Conference – United Methodist Church – $1,250
General Conference – Seventh-day Adventists – $2,500
And a few others!
*Note: Exhibit space fee has been paid, but funds are needed to cover volunteer travel expenses (airfare, lodging, meals, etc.).
We are planning to hold our annual Hope & Healing conference for victims in Nashville at the end of the AACC convention (more details to come). If you can help, the above are the needs just for the booth space cost, not including travel expenses for volunteers to staff the booth, which adds up to thousands of dollars more per event. Thank you so much! You may donate online, or mail a check to:
