I want to make Eva's wish come true - where she can die knowing that young sexual abuse survivors will be looked after.

Auckland

Eva is 17 years old and has one mission in life - to end sexual violence. That mission is even more important because of one thing -she's dying of cancer.

You wouldn't think that most 17 year olds would have to think about sexual violence. But that's just not true. You see, by their 16th birthday, 1 in 3 girls will be sexually assaulted. Eva cares about sexual violence because sadly, so many of her friends have been sexually assaulted.

And that's where you come in. Eva's wish is that New Zealanders like you will show that you will be there to look after NZ's children who have been sexually assaulted after she is gone.

I want to make that happen for her. Will you sponsor me, and make Eva's wish come true?

It's an honour to be part of making Eva's wish come true. Please donate today and help make it happen.

I'm the Fundraising & Communications Manager for HELP. As someone who asks people to support HELP, it's super important that I lead by example and also show how much I live and breathe the cause. HELP specialises in sexual abuse trauma therapy – helping you rebuild your shattered life.

Every day, our team works incredibly hard to support children and young women who have been sexually assaulted to recover and heal. Everyone is incredibly passionate, and we're literally there for you 24/7.

When you've been sexually assaulted, you need long-term support to recover and heal. Our loved ones need trained counsellors to help our traumatised friends and family heal, recover, and reclaim their lives.

HELP is there for literally thousands of children, teenagers, and women when they’re needed most. HELP caters for most of Auckland - that's nearly 1 million people.

And we can't do it without people like you supporting them. HELP’s counsellors attend emergency call-outs at all hours of the day. We’re there to hold your hand, tell you what to expect in the days and weeks to come, and support you as you go through medical examinations, police interviews, and through the court system. But we don’t stop there. HELP’s team give you the time and space you need to heal, with face-to-face counselling for as long as it takes until you've recovered and healed.

HELP also works hard every day to end sexual violence. With your help, one day our children won't have to live in fear.
