It's not uncommon for sexual assault survivors to leave the hospital wearing only a gown after undergoing a forensic medical exam, as their clothes are often collected as evidence. Your gift today of $50 will provide one Survivor Supply Kit, helping to restore the survivor’s sense of safety and dignity.
