Emma Foster Memorial Fund

Emma and her sister, Katie Foster were sexually abused by their parish priest, Kevin O'Donnell. Emma died of a medication overdose, aged 26. Katie already had a life sentence - a physical and mental disability sustained as the result of a pedestrian accident while under the influence of the alcohol she used to numb her pain.

Emma's parents, Anthony and Christine, now Ambassadors for ASCA are doing whatever they can to speak out on behalf of survivors of child abuse.

ASCA is the key Australian charity to advance the needs of the more than 2 million Australian adults surviving child abuse. We know how to help but we need your help to do so.

Your donation will help fund:

• 1300-information and support line (1300-657-380): Resourced Monday to Friday by trauma therapists.
• Workshops: ASCA's Creating New Possibilities workshops are life-affirming and in some cases, life-saving.
• Newsletters: ASCA produces a monthly newsletter for survivors. We call it Breaking Free. This newsletter helps break the sense of isolation survivors often feel.
• Advocacy: ASCA is continually working to erode the stigma and taboo around the legacy of child abuse.
• Forget-Me-Knot Day on 2nd Friday of November is a national day for adult survivors. . For us every day is Forget-me-knot Day.

Help untangle the knot of child abuse.

Please give generously in loving memory of Emma Foster.
