The Lamplighters

We need an Army!

Support for adult survivors of child sexual abuse, incest, domestic violence, rape and sexual assault

We welcome advocates

Let us show you how to heal sexual abuse, how to find the way to both children’s recovery and adult’s recovery.

We're all in this together

For the month of July we are honored to present as our General of the Month…

Marjorie was voted in as a board member for the foundation Let Go, Let Peace Come In. Please go to www.letgoletpeacecomein.org if you haven’t seen their website. They are asking for survivors to email them their photo and a caption or just their story. Part of their mission statement is “we will raise money for a non-profit fund to provide the financial assistance necessary to start survivors of childhood sexual abuse on the path to recovery, ‘one’ survivor at a time.”
