Make a Difference Today

Every dollar you give helps us provide life-changing resources to women who need them most. Your contribution can put a journal into the hands of a survivor, helping her process her pain and take the first steps toward healing. It can fund workshops that empower her to rediscover her strength and career assistance programs that rebuild her confidence and independence.

The statistics are heartbreaking:

  • Every 68 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. (RAINN)

  • 1 in 5 women will experience rape or attempted rape in their lifetime. (NSVRC)

  • Lack of access to resources—such as shelters, legal aid, and other support services—can make leaving an abusive situation incredibly difficult. (Women Against Abuse)

  • Many survivors report feeling isolated and unsupported, believing they have nowhere to turn.

This is where your generosity makes an impact. By donating, you’re helping to break the cycle of trauma and create a lifeline for survivors. Through journals, workshops, and one-on-one coaching, The 1st 28 Foundation provides survivors with the tools, community, and hope they need to heal and rebuild their lives.
