ONALASKA NATIVE CONTINUES NON-PROFIT WORK TO SUPPORT SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORS – LEARN HOW YOU CAN HELP!

When Jess Randall was a junior at Onalaska High School, she read an article that informed her how many sexual assault survivors leave the ER in paper scrubs. This information wasn’t right to her and she knew she needed to help. She started a small drive to support that year and it has grown into the Survivor Clothing Project in the last 4 years, including expanding to Madison, where she’s currently attending UW-Madison.

This is a continuous effort to raise funds for the cause. As Jess explained, the clothing will sadly need to be replenished at both hospitals and the funds will support that. The money will also go towards hospital funds for sexual abuse survivors to help them with whatever help they require, following their trauma.

When we first spoke with Jess at the start of this project years ago, she shared one important thing she’s learned is, “it’s not that hard to create change.”
