My name is Eva. I’m 16 years old, and I have one mission in life – to
end sexual violence. That mission is even more important than ever
because of one thing.
I’m dying of cancer.
When you know your days are numbered, it really makes it clear what matters to you. Sure, I could pin my hopes on meeting my favourite actress, or travelling the world.
But what I really want is to make a positive difference that will still be helping people’s lives after I am gone – to give more in life than that I have taken.
You might be wondering why someone so young is passionate about sexual violence. You wouldn’t think that such a serious issue is something that the average 16 year old even has to think about. But that’s just not true.
You see, I’ve seen first-hand just how destructive sexual violence is. It breaks my heart to have to tell you that most of my friends have been sexually assaulted.
There’s something you can do that would make a huge difference for sexual abuse survivors. You can donate to HELP today.
\When you've been sexually assaulted, you need long-term support to recover and heal. Our loved ones need trained counsellors to help our traumatised friends and family heal, recover, and reclaim their lives.
HELP is there for literally thousands of children, teenagers, and women when they’re needed most. HELP caters for most of Auckland - that's nearly 1 million people. And they can't do it without people like you supporting them.
HELP’s counsellors attend emergency call-outs at all hours of the day. They’re there to hold your hand, tell you what to expect in the days and weeks to come, and support you as you go through medical examinations, police interviews, and through the court system.
HELP also works hard every day to end sexual violence. With your help, one day our children won't have to live in fear. But they don’t stop there.
HELP’s team give you the time and space you need to heal.
HELP specialises in sexual abuse trauma therapy – helping you rebuild your shattered life. Please show me that there are people in NZ who care about lovely people like my friends. Who care about the 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 7 boys who are sexually abused. Who will do what it takes to end this epidemic. With all my loves and hopes for a New Zealand that is safe for all of its children, Eva
