Andrea Kooiman's Fundraiser
My Appeal
When I was in 6th grade, the statistic was 1 in every 8 girls would be a victim to childhood sexual abuse. One night at a slumber party I was faced with the harsh realization that I was the ONE in our group of EIGHT. I felt alone and I felt ashamed.
Years later, I am still working through the nightmares that have haunted me for so long.
The statistic is now 1 in 4 woman were a victim of childhood sexual abuse and many will never speak out about what happened to them.
Today, I stand as an advocate for myself, an ear to those that need to talk and a voice for those that aren't ready to tell their story.

My Cause
The Mission: WINGS’ mission is to break the cycle and heal the wounds of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) by providing education, advocacy and support to adult survivors, loved ones, providers and communities. We do this by offering referrals to qualified therapists, training and education, and therapist-facilitated support groups for CSA survivors and their loved ones to live their fullest, healthiest lives.
About the Organization: Founded by and for CSA survivors, WINGS is actively building capacity to achieve our vision of a world where everyone has access to the resources they need to speak about, heal from and thrive beyond CSA trauma. Making this vision a vibrant reality takes all of us standing together and standing with CSA survivors. We thank you for giving this issue your support and your valuable time.
