Survivors of clergy sexual abuse are feeling hopeful after a meaningful meeting with Pope Francis, who has pledged to provide comprehensive support to help them heal. During the encounter, victims shared their personal stories of trauma, which have profoundly impacted their lives, often leading to poverty and mental health struggles. The Pope's commitment to assist these individuals marks a significant step towards their recovery and rebuilding their lives.

**The House The Independent Built: Our Campaign to Support Domestic Abuse Survivors** We are excited to announce the launch of a new campaign aimed at helping survivors of domestic abuse. Our initiative, "Brick by Brick," in collaboration with Refuge, seeks to provide essential support and resources to those in need. The goal is simple yet profound: to build a house and, in doing so, rebuild the lives of women who have faced the harrowing experience of domestic violence. This campaign is not just about providing shelter; it’s about creating a safe haven where survivors can begin to heal and reclaim their lives. Maya Oppenheim outlines the importance of this lifesaving initiative, emphasizing the urgent need for support in the fight against domestic abuse. By contributing to this campaign, you can play a vital role in helping these women find safety and stability. Join us in making a difference. Together, we can help survivors rebuild their lives, one brick at a time.
