Heal Me With Words ™ A National Campaign where Healed People, Heal People for Child Abuse Awareness Month

This year we will focus on our Heal Me With Words™ campaign to offer healing to adults who have been sexually abused. Here is what we know:

1. 97% of homeless mothers have been sexually abused and/or raped
2. 80% of patients who have been diagnosed with some form of mental illness have been sexually abused
3. 75% of prostitutes have been sexually abused
4. 80% of alcohol/narcotics abusers have been sexually abused
5. 20-30% of foster care children will be sexually abused before the age of 18
6. It costs $124 billion over the life span of the collective victims of child sexual abuse for all the care that must be provided for the above problems.

We also know that:

• People don’t wake up and become prostitutes. They were often sexually abused, left home and was recruited and/or forced into child/human trafficking.
• Rapists can be rehabilitated
• There is no “cure” for Pedophilia
• Many pedophiles hide under the guise of ministry
• There is no discrimination with this problem. It is in every facet of life where the predator can find children. It’s not a race, or religion issue.

1. Catherine Portillo who was told by her stepfather that it was normal to be abused
2. Marko Hamlin was sexually abused by a babysitter and in foster care
3. Victoria Pendragon who parents were aware that her grandfather sold her to his friends
4. Jan Williams who was impregnated by her brothers
