Imagine living in fear so intense that it steals your voice, silencing you under the weight of threats and pain. The trauma of abuse can linger for years, creating wounds that seem impossible to heal and leading many to struggle in silence, some even contemplating the unthinkable.

I am a survivor of child abuse, still grappling with its lasting impact. That’s why I’ve written WHY—a book that tells the raw truth of abuse and resilience. Now, I am raising funds to adapt WHY into a powerful film that can shed light on these painful but important issues, inspiring hope and healing for those affected.
