Winter Appeal 2023
To our friends,
2023 has been a long year with many ups and downs for us all. As we close out the year, we at SNAP hope that you are feeling like you are on your way to being healthy, fulfilled, and happy. This past year has brought both successes and challenges. Thanks to the support you have shown in the past, we’ve been able to celebrate the good days and weather the stormy ones. Now, we are once again asking for your support as we work to support survivors new and old as we ‘Move SNAP Forward.’
At SNAP we are proud to have hosted a very well-attended conference in August 2023. This event allowed us to gather friends, survivors, advocates, and allies for a weekend of camaraderie and connection. We were so happy to be able to welcome many first-time attendees to gather in person and are already looking forward to the next conference.
To strengthen our movement for justice, healing, and prevention, SNAP will be expanding our peer support and providing more volunteer opportunities in the coming year. Through this great work, we are ensuring survivor voices are represented as we work for significant change that will benefit children and survivors.
Right now, survivors worldwide are getting the help they need from SNAP, and more and more reach out to us daily, but we need your help to keep those programs going and get our volunteers the training they need to thrive.
Your tax-deductible gift to SNAP can help offset the cost of our important mission. If you are not in a position to contribute, you can still support us by sharing this letter with those who can. As we continue to fight for survivors across the globe, your donation or sharing the great work SNAP does will help us continue our work to protect the vulnerable, heal the wounded, and prevent abuse.
Your donation ensures SNAP will be there for those who need us more than ever!
Warmly,
Michael W. McDonnell, C.P.S.
Interim Executive Director

Why is this relevant? Because you actually believe that a normal person would do that to you? Please, please don’t tell me you believe that. Please don’t make that argument with me.

That means that Christianity is really preached by the COMPLETELY PARANOID!
Traumatize every young child that finds it easy to learn because you are paranoid they will catch on to you!

As a survivor finding your voice after the crimes committed against your body, soul and mind is difficult. A victim who can’t speak up needs support from the community to feel safe enough to stand up and speak. You have to understand the priests made it clear what happens when you tell. As a small child I watched as they proved to me many times what they would do to people that talked. Those who remain quiet do so because they are surviving with the unthinkable demons of past injustice. The are Not guilty only the perpetrators are and one day they will pay for their crimes when they stand before the God they pretended to serve. Just wanted to add a little wisdom to your thoughts.
