If you want to know what we are fighting for, THIS IS WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR. Our purpose at Fortress Of Hope Psalm18 for raising awareness about sexual abuse is so that parents like you and me would never have to experience this type of tragedy. Sexual abuse is preventable, this could have been preventable. But now it's too late, her blood is crying out for justice and peace, like many other victims and survivors. Dead and Living, Young and Old. We can all work together to prevent sexual abuse. #NOmoreSILENCE #NOmoreSHAME #HELPtheVICTIMS #HealThierPain R.I.P PRINCESS BELLA😢🙏 #SEXUAL #ABUSE #AWARENESS #MONTH
