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

Not one faced any kind of justice. Some remain retired in Florida and with full honors as priests. Even if the law will do nothing because the SOL has passed-why won’t the Roman Catholic church leadership do something with them? There is nothing stopping the RC church from punishing these self-professed child molesters! At the very least they should be defrocked and driven out of the priesthood. That’s the least the church leaders can do! They won’t even do that. As far as telling the pew potatoes that their funds are financing child molesters-we’ve repeatedly told them that many times! They just don’t give a damn. THEIR church is the holy roman catholic church and they are going to worship the priests and bishops as infallible gods on earth. There is nothing lower than a child molester-except maybe a child molester who dresses up as a priest or bishop to deceive people and molest their children. That said: if these people won’t stop funding a church leadership of sodomites and pedophiles-they would likely financially support Satan himself if he were to go to seminary and become a priest and then a bishop. Their is a kind of mental illness here-this is not faith-this is a sickness and a mortal sin of worshipping men-priests and bishops as if they were god. This is the mortal sin of idolatry and this sin allows the sacrifice of children on the altar of sexual molester priest and bishops. People living under this spell will allow priests and bishops and popes to molest and destroy children and the people will never speak out or stop funding it. So dispell yourselves of these illusions that ‘faithful roman catholics’ will withhold funds or stop going to this church. We’ve already lives decades and decades with that illusion. What is needed is a big bully with a big stick who beat these priests and bishops over the head-then they will stop molesting children. Mark my words well.
