Dear [Name/Family/Friends/Community],
I’m reaching out to share an organization that means a lot to me—Hidden Water, a unique organization working with families and individuals who have been impacted by child sexual abuse. The impact of child sexual abuse can echo through a family for generations, often intensified by family members' responses to the harm. There is little out there guiding family members in how to best support healing and repair after the devastating impact of child sexual abuse. Hidden Water is the only organization I know that offers spaces for all members of a family to navigate their healing journeys.
"Hidden Water is transformative. I’ve never been in a space like it — truly equitable and safe. In so many ways, they’ve saved my life. I gained insight, strength, and new friends." - Green Circle Participant (someone who was harmed)
In 2025, Hidden Water is launching a new prevention program to address the root causes of harm. This initiative will equip adults responsible for children’s well-being with essential skills to interrupt harmful behaviors, handle disclosures, and support healing. Every dollar raised this Giving Tuesday will help make this vision a reality. By donating, you’re helping create a future where all children are safer. If you're interested in joining the prevention program, you can add your name to the waitlist now!
“Hidden Water helped me acknowledge and work through what had happened to my sibling, but also its impact on me. I got to work through that with an amazing circle of people who withheld judgment and had nothing but love, care and empathy for me.” - Blue Circle Participant (someone who loves someone who harmed, was harmed, or both)
This Giving Tuesday, I’m raising funds to support this new initiative focused on preventing harm and building safer, healing communities for those affected by child sexual abuse. Please consider joining me in this effort by making a donation today. Together, we can make a difference!
