Abby’s story is truly heartbreaking, and sadly, it reflects the reality faced by far too many girls.
At just 15 years old, Abby is facing an experience no child should ever have to endure.
Following a Form 22 referral, Abby was referred to Badisa Trio after allegations of sexual abuse by a trusted family member over a period of approximately two to three years. The person involved was someone Abby trusted and viewed as a protector and role model, making the emotional impact of the trauma particularly significant.
Abby initially shared what she had experienced with people within her faith community and with someone online, before her parents became aware of the situation. The most recent alleged incident took place in July 2026.
Abby now urgently needs professional psychological therapy to help her process her trauma, manage her emotions and develop healthy coping skills as she moves forward.
We deeply value the support provided by the Thuthuzela Care Centre, which offers a vital place of support for children and survivors of sexual violence. They are a beacon of hope during some of the darkest moments.
The estimated cost of a therapy session is R800. Every contribution towards Abby’s therapy will help give her access to the professional support she needs and can play an important role in her emotional healing and future well-being.
At Badisa Trio, we believe that what happened to a child should never determine the rest of their story.
With the right support, Abby can begin to heal, rebuild her sense of safety and look towards a brighter future.
Your support can help make that hope possible.
