WITH THE HELP OF MANY, INCLUDING @fkatwigs @megan_cusack @_leah_harvey_ @lewishamilton @@misanharriman YOU & 106,000 OTHERS, WE HAD OUR PETITION HEARD IN PARLIAMENT (see picture). NOT BAD FOR A FEW WOMEN JUST TRYING TO SAVE LIVES & CAMPAIGN FOR EQUAL SUPPORT FOR ABUSE VICTIMS BUT IT'S NOT QUITE OVER YET, WE HAVE ONE MORE (BIG), SMALL FAVOUR TO ASK... AFTER 6 YEARS OF FUNDRAISING, WE HAVE FOUND THAT IDEAL SAFE SPACE, BUT WE'RE £100, 000 SHORT AND WE NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE. IT SEEMS A TALL ASK, BUT SURELY IF WE CAN GET 106,000 SIGNATURES, WE CAN RAISE £100,000 FOR A GOOD CAUSE. HERE IS WHY... ... 'SHE' FINALLY REPORTED TO THE POLICE, THE THREAT TO BURN DOWN THE HOUSE WITH HER AND THE CHILDREN INSIDE. THEY RECORDED IT AS A THREAT TO PROPERTY. DESPITE THE ABUSE, SHE TRIED TO BE REASONABLE WITH HER EX, SHE GAVE HIM THREE MONTHS TO FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO LIVE. ON THAT MORNING, 31ST MARCH, THE DEADLINE WAS UP, HE WAS MEANT TO LEAVE. HE REFUSED. HE BECAME INCREASINGLY HOSTILE. SHE PHONED HER DAUGHTER AT WORK AND ASKED HER TO KEEP THE LINE OPEN AS HER EX, WAS ACTING "STRANGE". ⚠️ Trigger warning!!!! ⚠️ HE STABBED HER WITH A MACHETE, SCREWDRIVER AND A HAMMER, BEFORE USING THE MACHETE TO KILL HIS 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. SHE WAS A 45 YEAR OLD MUM OF BABY RJ AND 3 OTHER CHILDREN, INCLUDING THE ONE THAT HEARD HER MUM AND SISTER BEING KILLED. SHE GOT COLLEAGUES TO CALL THE POLICE. POLICE ARRIVED IN 6 MINUTES, BUT DID NOT FORCE ENTRY, INSTEAD WENT TO HER WORK PLACE. A HOMICIDE REVIEW LISTED A CATALOGUE OF ERRORS. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY ATTACKS AND MURDERS SINCE VALERIE'S AND BABY RJ'S DEATH, YET THERE IS NO SAFE SPACE FOR BLACK WOMEN TO GO. WE CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHY IT'S ACCEPTABLE FOR EVERY OTHER MINORITISED GROUP TO HAVE A SAFE SPACE, YET THERE'S NO SPECIALIST PROVISION FOR BLACK WOMEN. PLEASE HELP US PUT THAT RIGHT. WE'RE MAKING HISTORY BY BRINGING POSITIVE CHANGE WE WISH TO PURCHASE THE FIRST SAFE-SPACE THAT WILL SUPPORT BLACK WOMEN IN FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES UNTIL A PERMANENT SOLUTION CAN BE FOUND. HER NAME WAS VALERIE FORDE -- PLEASE DONATE AND SHARE. LINK IN BIO THANK YOU
