A story about Jane; Abuse and what it’s all about.
Victims are not always women, or even married to the abuser. A victim does not have to be hit to suffer the effects of the abuse or the long term damage that it’s caused.
I suppose I should put a trigger warning on this. It contains a discussion on abuse, physical, sexual and others and focuses a fair bit on domestic violence as an example. If this is likely to cause an extreme reaction or cause any traumatic responses? Stop reading. I wrote this mainly to cover the commendation I’ve seen about the incident of sexual harassment that’s been festering within our community but it’s open for others to view and share their views. My ask box is open and anonymous questions are allowed.

Hurricane Sandy affected 17 states in the Northeast, bringing particularly devastating losses to New Jersey and New York. This month, CharitySub is partnering with charities that are helping the thousands that are still getting back on their feet. While the losses are calculated into the billions, our charities work to restore the priceless neighborhoods, local businesses and communities that lost more than their fair share during the storm.
Join us as we look back at Hurricane Sandy, and support three great organizations that are helping an entire region put the pieces back together, months after the storm.

The FJP: Hurricane Sandy and The Possibilities Of Sensor Journalism →
OK, first let’s define some terms. Here, I’m using the label ‘sensor journalism’ to mean the nascent practice of deploying a large number of sensors around an area, taking readings from those sensors then compiling the readings to give an audience a picture of what’s going on in the space.

It’s our Birthday!
CharitySub directly helped more than 4,004 people, but that’s only a small portion of the impact we made in 2012. Not all of the work made possible by our donations is easily quantifiable.
Through donations for things like water tests, food pantries, school supplies and policy changing efforts, we have surely touched the lives of thousands more. We are so excited to see what 2013 has in store!

Share these infographics & support our returning veterans on Veterans Day, November 11.
300,000 veterans suffer from major depression, 320,000 veterans have experienced traumatic brain injury, suicide rates among veterans have increased by 150% since 2001, each night around 67,000 veterans sleep on the street or in transitional housing, and of the 21.8 million veterans in the United States over 5.5 million are living with disability.These are shocking facts; facts that we at CharitySub believe more people need to know. Our members support a different cause each month, and for Veterans Day we are sharing a range of engaging infographics (see below) that tell the story of the plight of many of our returning veterans in the U.S.Amy Crews, Co-Founder of CharitySub, said the CharitySub team hoped that by telling these facts through clear, concise and visually appealing infographics, our members would help to raise more awareness of these issues along with their donations which go towards supporting our returning veterans.“We are working with three non-profits this month - The Blind Veteran Association, Puppies Behind Bars and The Jericho Project – all working to give our veterans the extra support they need.If you are interested in using this engaging and shareable content to accompany a story for Veterans Day this November, please don’t hesitate to contact us.We can also put you in touch with our leading non-profit partners who throughout the month are on hand to share personal stories about the work being done to address some of the hardest hitting issues that affect veterans.CharitySub wants to encourage as many people as possible to share the facts. Join our community of givers to support veterans in honor of Veterans Day this November and give our heroes a little extra help.Embed Code<div> <a href=”https://www.charitysub.org/returning-veterans”><img src=”http://charitysub-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/monthly/2012/11/500000-iraq-afghanista-vets-ptsd.jpg” width=”600/” /></a><br />via <a href=”https://www.charitysub.org/returning-veterans”>CharitySub</a> Simple.
