The power of Hope, Healing, and Support - We need your support to continue our mission.
Dear Friends:
Less than one month ago, I arrived in New York City with about 100 fellow survivors for a preview screening of Leaving Neverland and Oprah Winfrey's conversation with the two featured survivors – Wade Robson and James Safechuck – that immediately followed.
At the close of the Oprah taping, Wade turned to us in the small audience and told us what it meant to him that we were there. He made it clear that we – the survivors in the room – were the audience that mattered most to him. While hours earlier I walked into the event not even knowing their names, I walked out of it knowing who my brothers were.
That is MaleSurvivor for me. In the weeks leading up to the release of that film, we were struggling to save this site during a critical platform upgrade. Unforeseen technical issues created unforeseen financial obstacles. While MaleSurvivor survived, it remains in need of the support of its brethren.
The most difficult thing for me to do as a survivor was to ask for help. And until I did that, I was existing from day to day, running from haunted yesterdays and wondering if there were brighter tomorrows. Everything changed when I asked for help.
MaleSurvivor is not a huge organization. We who run it are just survivors like you, volunteering our time for something we once thought we were alone with. We dared to start a small conversation. Then a strange thing happened. People joined in. They registered. Contributed. And before we knew it, we had over 13 thousand registrants. That's the size of a small city.
All of us here now have an incredible brotherhood that we share. But as volunteers, those of us who are moderators, greeters and play other administrative roles also have a trust. We want to meet that responsibility. And so we are asking for your help.
If you have read this far, I hope you can walk with me through this last paragraph. Yes. I'm asking you for your help. If every registrant donated just $5 – the amount of a Starbucks coffee and pastry – we would be healthy enough to stand solid, our footing assured, for the rest of the year. If a registrant donated $15, he would take care of two brothers who could not contribute. And a membership donation staring at $35 offers other benefits and weaves that new member into the fabric of brotherhood here in a truly supportive role to other survivors and to the site. We understand some people just can't. And to those of you, we pledge we will do all in our power to remain right here, unconditionally, steadfast and supportive. And if you are here in that capacity, look to the avatars and thank a designated Member. But if you never have contributed to organizations like ours that depend upon your support, we hope to be the one to rise to the level of your exception.
