During the month of August, a non-profit organization that I support, the Joyful Heart Foundation, is looking to raise $4,000 to fund their efforts to end the backlog of untested rape kits in the United States. Rape kits that contain DNA evidence are collected in the aftermath of a sexual assault to help solve the crime, yet there are estimated to be hundreds of thousands of untested rape kits across the country. Each one represents a lost opportunity for healing and justice to a survivor.
