At Surviving Forward Foundation, we believe survivors deserve to be seen, heard, supported, and reminded that their story still holds power.

We are opening submissions for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and human trafficking who would like to share their journey of healing, strength, survival, and hope.

Whether your story is about leaving, rebuilding, healing, finding your voice, or simply making it through another day — your experience could help another survivor feel less alone.

There are people still sitting in silence, wondering if life can ever feel safe, hopeful, or whole again. Your words could be the light that helps someone keep going.

If you would like to share your story with us, you can fill out our Survivor Story Submission Form here:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe8gdSHzXi87ckci6XeCGnUQh5VV3ecF9v8k1h4HBXh9WykQg/viewform?usp=dialog
Stories may be shared anonymously if preferred, and you only need to share what feels safe and comfortable to you.

Thank you for continuing to survive forward. 💜

We hear you. We believe you. We support you.

Every survivor’s journey matters. By sharing your story, you may help someone else feel less alone, more hopeful, and more empowered to begin healing. Your story can inspire light in places that once felt impossible to escape. Share only what feels safe and comfortable.

💛 Why this matters

Every event we host, every post we share, every conversation we have…

It all comes back to one thing:

Making sure survivors know they are not alone.

And we will keep showing up—for you.

Happy Mother’s Day to every mother, survivor, protector, nurturer, and woman finding her strength one day at a time. 💜

Today, Surviving Forward Foundation honors the incredible resilience of mothers who have survived domestic violence, sexual assault, abuse, and human trafficking. Some of you are raising children while healing from unimaginable pain. Some are learning how to love yourselves again after surviving trauma. Some are grieving, rebuilding, or simply making it through the day — and that strength deserves to be recognized.

To every survivor: your past does not define your worth. Your courage, your perseverance, and your love matter deeply.

And to all moms everywhere — biological moms, stepmoms, foster moms, grieving moms, chosen moms, and the women who show up with unconditional love — we celebrate you today.

May today bring peace, comfort, healing, and reminders that you are never alone.

Happy Mother’s Day. 🌸💜
