Our next walk is happening in the Spring of 2023 but while we wait there’s so many ways to give and to show support including this.

Do you enjoy doing art?

Would you like your art to benifit survivors of child sexual abuse?

You may enjoy making bookmarks for Saprea, which will be given to survivors when they attend a retreat in Utah or Georgia.

You can learn more information here: https://youniquefoundation.org/volunteer-bookclub-bookmarks/

The Saprea Retreat is a free clinically informed 4-day in-person retreat for adult female survivors of child sexual abuse. Learn more.

What happened to the younique foundation and whose this Saprea you are donating to now?

In short - it’s the same!! TYF just rebranded to Saprea.

This is a nonprofit focused on liberating individuals and society from child sexual abuse and its lasting impacts. They provide healing services to survivors and prevention resources to parents and communities, free of charge. They also raise awareness and educate the public on this important issue.

This is who W2D will benefit at our next walk coming soon!!

You can learn more about what they do here ⬇️

📣 While we are working on our 2nd annual walk to defend.. we will be sharing important events and information from our friends at Saprea.

Up frist, the Saprea Healing Webinar!

For the past year Saprea has been working hard to develop an at-home educational experience for survivors who aren't currently able to attend the Saprea Retreat or want to access our resources in a different way.

Designed to help jumpstart your healing journey, the Healing Webinar is a 4.5-hour interactive and educational virtual experience for women who were sexually abused as children or teens.

The webinar is led by a clinical therapist who specializes in trauma recovery. It will provide a safe and supportive online environment for participants to learn about the impacts of trauma as well as healing tools to apply in everyday life. Participants who attend the Healing Webinar are still welcome to apply to attend the Saprea Retreat if they wish to do so. Saprea Retreat is our 4-day in-person experience followed by a self-guided online course.

The Healing Webinar will be offered on the following upcoming dates:
• Tuesday, August 16, 2022 from 11:00 AM—3:30 PM EST
• Friday, September 9, 2022 from 10:00 AM—2:30 PM EST

If you are interested in joining, please send an email to [email protected].

We'd love to answer any questions you have!

6 weeks ago we Had a vision. We projected our vision to our teams and the world. Within 30 days an army of people in our community, our y sisters, and our family came together & showed up to raise money for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. We had people working around the clock with us to pull this together. Our goal was $10,000 and I thought Tiffany was crazy for setting that goal with 30 days to plan. Well it’s official last night after totaling everything up including all the cash, we were $41 short to $10,000, her husband handed her $41 in cash. GUESS WHAT? We hit $10,000!!!!! HOWS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE!!!!!! And guess what else? We are still waiting on one more donation of an unknown amount on Tuesday!!!!!! 😱😱😱😱 WE DID IT! We all did it! Huge thank you to our sponsors too!

We had over 40 volunteers helping running it! We had 93 people register for the walk in advance! And people stopping to register yesterday who were just passing through!!!!!! We had the biggest & yummiest bake sale I’ve ever seen in my life!!!! We had raffle baskets galore! Silent auction baskets! Split the pot! A whole area for kids: Cookie Painting! Face Painting! Hair Tinsel! Tattoos! Ducky Picking! Scavenger Hunt!
We had the best apples to apples signature drink ever and everything! IT WAS PERFECT!

I know we all were exhausted! But exhausted in the most amazing way possible! This was our first walk! We are so excited for our walk next year!! Next years walk we will have 6 months to plan! So if you think this was awesome, JUST WAIT!
