I want to make a difference by helping sexual assault survivors.

[Tisse Mallon]

Hello Fellow Inspired Beings!

I'm reaching out to you for help in achieving a dream. - To take a workshop I have developed (called STORY) on tour nationwide to help sexual assault survivors. - This January, I have been fortunate enough to get accepted into a monthly grant competition which, if I win, will make this dream a reality.
The grant competition (sponsored by Pepsi) would award me $50K to take my STORY project nationwide. While I attended CGW #5 I offered other attendees the option to participate in a mini-version of STORY which I was still refining then. (STORY is all about gaining clarity, finding your life's message and establishing goals/direction in life.) Now, I've taken my original STORY technique and developed it into a 6 hour workshop.
For the purposes of this particular grant project, I'm teaming up with a non-profit called Speaking Out About Rape (SOAR) and together we want to travel to 28 U.S. cities to help 2800+ sexual assault survivors at crisis centers to step out of the past and into the present.

The only way I'll be able to obtain this grant and get on the road is with your help. I need to be voted into the top 10 out of 382 ideas. It doesn't cost anything to vote except for about a minute of your time every day until January 31st. The competition is only 1 month long.

There are 3 ways to vote:
1. By cell phone: Text 105435 to 73774 (Standard messaging rates apply)
2. By website: Visit Help sexual assault survivors step out of the past & into the present! | Pepsi Refresh Everything and click "Vote for this idea" - it will ask you to create an account with them the first time and then you can return to vote once every day until January 31st
3. By facebook: Install the Pepsi Refresh Voting App by clicking on the following link and use it to vote every day:Pepsi Refresh Voting App on Facebook

Thank-you so much for taking the time to read this and for all your support! Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or you know of a certain group or center that could use a workshop like this, should I obtain the grant.

Love,
- Tisse.

I've been voting. It's worth it! I'm all about paradigm shifting as a way toward personal growth, and she's offering it for some people who could seriously benefit from it.

It's ranking 169 right now. How are you going to / how would you like to make your STORY vision happen regardless of whether you get the grant? Would you stick with sexual assault survivors, or something else?
