On the weekend 375 of you felt the anger I was feeling after I told you the news of our 3 year old who had to face her rapist in court but had been unable to testify due to her fear.

What could we do collectively that would make a difference?? So many people wanted to help but they didn’t know how. So I reached out to you all with my idea..

By Sunday the idea that was born from a deep anxiety and anger within me was becoming a reality!

We reached our goal in less than 24 hours! and today our wonderful John Tipper has met with the Chief Magistrate of the court we are wanting to work with.

The Chief was very happy to see us and was amazed at the news! He was overwhelmed that we had the funds to help instal this video link as it has only ever been a dream.

He has advised us that after this was installed he would make sure that all such cases similar to this one would ALWAYS be assigned to this room so the victim is able to use the video link which will help them testify.

We have our engineer working right now on this and is sourcing the hardware needed. We have officially started to create our second Video link.

The second video link ever in Kenya.

The Chief Magistrate will allow us access to the courthouse each weekend and if all goes well we will have it installed in the month.

IN TIME FOR OUR GIRL TO TESTIFY.

Not only her life is changed but so are the lives of those who will use this room in the future.. Hundreds upon hundreds of people that we will never know about. This gift will continue to help people long after you have forgotten about even giving this donation.. What a wonderful gift.

We can't thank you enough.. thank you for following this journey and listening to our wonderful stories and also listening to our horrific day to day real life stories. You are helping us make this change.. You funded this Video link and I don't think you will ever quite realise the snowball effect of change that it will create.

This morning we had written this to urge you all to donate to our latest campaign.. we were finding the right words to explain to you the importance of what we are doing.

Just as I was about to post it, my friend messaged me and congratulated me on reaching the target! (I had NO IDEA) Someone donated a whopping $4,800 to bring us up the the goal and people are continuing to donate.

The campaign will remain open for 28 days when it is automatically shut down. Whatever excess funds we get exceeding the target we will put towards the lawyer fees for this case. We want to hire the best of the best to make bring this man to justice. A life in prison living in the hell he deserves.

I will still share the words we were going to post so you can see the importance of what WE ALL have just achieved.. TOGETHER. WE DID IT ????????

If you have ever thought about donating to anything, and wondered when to do it, the time is now.

These babies, these small innocent little children, should never ever have to face the perpetrator in the way all Kenyan children do. If you gave even the cost of a cup of coffee today, we can make sure that these babies are protected from the trauma of facing their abuser.

In my life I’ve seen some pretty hard things, I’ve shared stories with children that would break your heart, I’ve listened to the sounds of our babies puking as they relive the fear of what happened to them. But never ever ever will I forget the extreme reaction to one of our baby boys having to tell his story in front of his abuser. His rapist who stole his childhoods and loved every moment of hearing it told back to him, while boring into the head of our boy. This brave bared his soul to get this man sent to prison for life. But the cost to him was enormous.

10 years later he still paying the price for having to speak in court. For him to face the abuser. For having to tell his story publicly. He speaks so clearly, so eloquently, about how the abuse he can make sense of, but never ever having to be standing as if naked in court, to hear the most intimate details of his abuse shared out loud. To have to relate his story, to be questioned by this vile evil Paedophile; that’s what keeps him awake at night. That’s what stops him from moving on 10 years later.

You can change that. So many of you already have, and for that we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are helping us to make the biggest difference to victims of horrific abuse, not just our children, but everyone that goes to that court who is vulnerable will have safety thanks to you.

Please I’m literally begging you, if you want to make a difference you can do it today. We are so close to our target, but we need to get there. We need to raise that money and more so we can change the future of our babies who have already been to hell. Please, please don’t make us take them back there.

Thank you from Sarah and Anne-Marie
