Celebrating Strength: A Story of Impact
Meet Dayann
“When I felt that no one could possibly understand my situation, and the whole community and my whole family was against me, it was the support specialist on the hotline at RAINN that helped me through it and let me know that I was not alone nor was I wrong to feel the way I did.
My feelings were validated. My decisions were supported.”
Celebrating Strength: The Heart of a RAINN Volunteer
Meet Lia-Marie
“Every time someone contacts RAINN’s National Sexual Assault Hotline, they’re met with a real person. The first thing I do when a survivor reaches out is let them know: ‘It’s okay to feel scared. But you don’t have to carry this alone. I’m here to carry some of that weight with you.’
“That’s what we do at RAINN. That’s what your support makes possible. I want you to know it truly makes a difference.”
