Voice For The Voiceless Walk To Ottawa

Donation protected
William O’Sullivan has called on the federal government through petition Justice e-2306 for a public inquiry into historic systemic sex abuse of minors by some members of the Catholic clergy over many decades. It will be read in the House of Commons. In an effort to raise awareness in support of all victims of systemic child sex abuse, he plans to walk from Niagara to Ottawa, hopefully arriving to witness the reading of the petition by federal MP Vance Badaway.  Covid precautions have added considerable cost to this endeavour and we want to make sure he can complete his mission safely. We would also like to create a behind the scenes documentary of his journey to help educate others on the prevalence of systemic child abuse and the long term impact it has on communities.  To keep him safe, he won’t be travelling alone. This fundraiser is to help cover the costs related to his trip, from quarantine with his team, lodging, food and protective gear and other incidentals as well as some costs related to video production to help spread awareness. He plans to begin his journey in May. It will take him more than a month to reach the steps of House Of Commons in Ottawa.
