SURVIVOR STORIES
Volunteer Spotlight: Melia’s Story
BTSADV’s own volunteer, Melia Winters, shares her Survivor Story in this Volunteer Spotlight.
My Survivor Story; Danielle Tyra
He mentally wore me down so that by the time he physically hurt me, I would be less likely to fight back. He would tell me that if I called the police, he would just tell them I hit him first. That they will believe him.
He even threatened to call the police and tell them I went crazy – again.
