Help for clergy sexual abuse when I was 16

Donation protected



Hi my name is Bob. I am raising money to help me and start a non profit if that’s what is needed. I believe that this is a problem and needs to be handled by going to the people and stand up and tell my story. That is the way the people Suffering in silence may identify and say well If this old fella Al can do it so can i Heheh. 


      Unfortunately all the other nonprofits not one does this they wait for your call. And that’s great they are there when we need Them and are compassionate and trained to help. But most of do not Make that call we need to be pushed. I know I did still 40 yrs of silence and close to death. That’s not what we want for our youth. So let’s get out there. Send a few bucks if you can and If not Thanx for visiting. If you need to talk I would be very grateful to help and do what I can. I am now a survivor because I was courageous enough to tell on my abuser after 40 yrs of pain and suffering today I am a new man. The biggest relief I have had is today I do not go to bed and pray not to wake up. I hope to wake up and see if I can help another sick and suffering person see that our secrets are keeping us sick.



       I would like to share how my BIG SECRET kept me sick and almost killed me. I found out by experiencing a life or death situation and I was lucky enough to try one more Time. The money that I raise will be used to support my new life, as well as help others with some cash to maybe make it through another day without trying to end their lives.I am doing my absolute best to create a non profit that goes directly to the problem. As there are many sites that have resources and help. Some of them are quite nice. I believe that going into schools and colleges Also homeless shelters. Every one needs a chance to recover from sexual abuse. Not matter what age or profession or even poor people. You see it in the news’s more and more. But we seriously need to go to the people that are hurting. Suffering in silence. Unfortunately most may Never tell on there abuser. But sometimes something happens when the victims hear a person’s story and how they were able to stand up and tell on there abuser is about 15 times more effective as just an add on tv. 

     Most know where the help is they just need a little push to get there. And I now enjoy every single min of telling. My story In the last. 6-9 months 2 people approached me after I spoke and told me they appreciate that i shared and are going to ask for help. So 2. That doesn’t sound like much. That is 2 people that may have gotten some help by listening to a guy share his story. My self if I could save one life In my lifetime that wound make me the happiest guy in the world. But we are going to achieve greatness. One person at a time. Even if some just need $2 or $300 bucks for what ever reason I will help that way and keep records. One important thing to remember people of sexual assault that do come forward the number of the ones who are telling the truth is quite high so if any one ever approaches us and Is able to trust you enough to tell you. The chances of them telling the truth are amazingly high so please do not discourage them. 

        There are so many people out there who tell some of the victims that there lying because they them self can’t handle the situation. Just Atleast steer them to a site that can help. My contact information is on this page and i will take a call at 3. Am if some one calls I answer and I don’t try to cure any one. But I will talk to them until there in a safe place. Thank you all for your greatness and kindness. Also my story was fully investigated for a year, after which the bishop in Albany. Did apologized for this horrible act. We spent a hour on a zoom meeting. As nice of an fella he is. I did realize that during our meeting that there did not seem to be any kind of monetary help that would be offered even though we talked about my last 5 yrs especially of being homeless many times and wanted to just give up. As well as my current situation   experiencing a life or death situation and I was lucky enough to try one more Time. The money that I raise will be used to support my new life, as well as help others with some cash to maybe make it through another day without trying to end their lives.   Today I just would like to wake up every day and not be worried to be threatened with an eviction letter.  And just go out and help as many people as I can to give them the same thing that was given.  Hope and to pray to Acually live another day not pray not to wake up. It may sound a little crazy to some but I would not wish that on anyone. Because sooner or later most will give in and go through with that awful act.
