Forgive and Live Productions seeks Angel Investors for World Premier Theatrical Production
THAT DOOR
San Francisco Bay Area, California
THE CAUSE
Do you know how to recognize the signs when a child has been abused? When sexual abuse starts before the age of six, and lasts for years, child and teen victims have nearly a 42 percent increase in suicidal thoughts during adolescence. This is my story.
It is important for you to know about my life’s work. Since 1982 and central to my ministry, I have been a community advocate for ending the scourge of child sexual abuse. This work has been recognized by the State of California House of Representatives. I received the Contra Costa County Martin Luther King Jr. 2000 Honorable Mention Humanitarian Award. My television outreach includes hosting weekly television programs including God’s Finest Hour and Best Day Ever.

A child who is the victim of prolonged sexual abuse usually develops low self-esteem, a feeling of worthlessness and an abnormal or distorted view of sex. The child may become withdrawn and mistrustful of adults, and can become suicidal. victimsofcrime.com This is my story.
Children who experience rape or attempted rape in their adolescent years were 13.7 times more likely to experience rape or attempted rape in their first year of college. This is my story.
With an urgent call to action to end child sexual abuse I am asking for your support for the play version of my book. I am proud to announce the play is ready for casting, rehearsals and performances. It took ten years to bring this vision to life and I am now ready to share it with the world.
I named my production company Forgive and Live Productions because it represents my mission to help bring about change and end this scourge on our families and on our lives. As with my book, the play version can reach even more of those in need of healing, those who seek a pathway toward full restoration.
Your donation will help change lives by helping more families and those who are not living fully. Your generosity will play an important part in helping others live in joy and peace.
We will never give up hope.
We will never give up helping families recover.
The scourge of child abuse, as you very well know, must end.
Please help this project reach its full potential. Please give generously.
