I rarely make such peas, but ...
Recently
this happened to friends of mine. They lost their daughter to a man who
raped her, beat her and then murdered her. He was a total stranger.
See the news broadcast here:
As you may have caught at the end of this newscast, her parents
Beatrice and Hu, have now founded The Moira Fund to help those who have lost loved ones
in similar circumstances - to help get them away from the proximity of
the scene for a while, and so much more.
Such help is in very
short supply and this newly founded organization could help offer a
little respite to victims at a very vulnerable moment in their lives.
THIS IS MOIRA ...
Moira's mother said, after the trial:
"We will never know the extent of the pain, the
torture, the mental anguish she endured. We do know if she could think
at all she would think of us, whom she cherished most.
In a voice breaking with emotion, she added: "How could Moira - our
lovely fun-loving full-of-life Moira - be a body in a park. We were
totally stunned and everything was surreal. Our hearts have been gouged
out."
Imagine then, how it may have helped these wonderful people, just a little, to have some neutral ground in which to grieve a while and make themselves ready for the horrors of the path they must tread to see some kind of justice done.
