Christine Blasey Ford Is Donating Her GoFundMe Money To Sexual Assault Survivors

“Your tremendous outpouring of support and kind letters have made it possible for us to cope with the immeasurable stress, particularly the disruption to our safety and privacy,” Blasey Ford wrote. “Because of your support, I feel hopeful that our lives will return to normal.”

She took the time to announce the GoFundMe will cease to accept further donations, and confirmed that once security expenses were completed, she'd be donating the remaining funds to organizations that support trauma survivors. She promised to let us know what those organizations are and when it would be completed. (Psst, Dr. Ford: Charity Navigator is a great place to get started.)

Despite the danger to her reputation, integrity, and ability to move forward in her life.

Good for Christine Blasey-Ford for doing this. She is a hero in my eyes.

She did not want to be in that judiciary room. Yet she did the right thing, she followed her heart to help herself heal and all the other women that have suffered the same violence and violations. She moved beyond herself and her fears.
