Without a doubt, 2020 has been a challenging year for all of us. The pandemic has changed the way we work, how we live, kept us in isolation and often plunged us into financial hardship.
With international travel restrictions, study abroad programs suspended and stay at home orders, we have seen less LGBTQ sexual assault victims needing assistance than average in 2020.
We expect 2021 to be the opposite. A surge of Americans sexually assaulted abroad is unfortunately a reality as covid vaccines open up lock downs and international travel resumes. Sexual predators that have been isolated and have not had the opportunity to seek out victims will be ready, seeking out opportunity.
We hope we are wrong, but most organizations providing services to sexual assault victims, and special need populations like the LGBTQ community members, are anticipating similar increases. We hope you will consider another donation before the end of the year to provide funds to meet the coming demand for our services in 2021. And if not, we understand. This year has been hard on everyone.
Thank you and we wish you and your families happiness, health and prosperity as we enter a New Year.
