"You Are Not Alone"

A Note from Timea E Nagy, Founder of TC Online Institute

 

When I was a victim, I felt like the ghost of society. I felt like society did not care or want to help me. When I tried to recover and rebuild my life, I was very angry at "normal people" for not helping me, but the truth is, they just didn't know. And if they knew what I was going through, they would have been the first to lend a hand. I want Survivors to know that they are not GHOSTS -  that we CARE, and we are here to help in any way we can. I want them to feel included, even if we can not be there in the room with them physically during their darkest hours.

 

We started our "You Are Not Alone" note program by sending the survivors handmade lavender organic products to help them calm down during court or to help them fall asleep in a new shelter or safe house. We decided to put in a personalized note in order to let them know they are “Not Alone.” We found out later from police officers and service providers that they ended up carrying the note with them everywhere they went for the first few weeks. One girl was holding onto it on the stand, while she was testifying.

 

We cannot be there to hold them, encourage them, or cheer them on in person, but we can be there in spirit. The "You Are Not Alone" notes from you, with your title and signature, will make them feel special, worthy, and most importantly, NOT ALONE. The note will make them feel seen as human beings.
