Char is a survivor. Let’s help her become a nurse

My friend Charlene is today standing tall having seen her father sentenced to 17 years in jail after subjecting her to over 7 years of blackmail, rape and abuse. Situations like these are desperate and feel endless 
but through her own courage she has brought it to an end. As her friend, I have started this crowdfunder to support her as she embarks on a new journey in life. Charlene stated in her impact statement in court that she had 
always wanted to train as a teacher or a nurse but her father had refused to allow her to pursue such a dream, and that today she is stuck in a line of work she has no passion for.

To raise some money in the interests of helping Char achieve her dream would help to open this new chapter in her life in brightness and hope. She has sent her father to jail and bravely waved her right to anonymity
so she can help put a smiling face on this insidious and awful crime which affects women all over Ireland and further afield. To help her now would be a beautiful act of solidarity.
