Also me: you were talking too fast and I zoned out I have no idea what the fuck this entire passage was about :P

oh mood bro.

Adhd to adhd: We are both going at the speed of light, half the words are not being said, we understand everything perfectly

In court that day, the judge asked the boy, “Are you afraid?” No, the boy said.

Pipes says the judge seemed surprised, and asked, “Why not?”

Chief’s thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. “When we tell a child they don’t have to be afraid, they believe us,” Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. “When we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.” ( Article)

They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once you’re adopted into this family as a BACA kid, you’re always one. Even when you’re 40 and the perp gets released from jail, they’ll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life you’ve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, there’s 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the child’s testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker.

They’re in Canada as well and probably other countries. I met and talked with a native guy who runs the place near me. His name is Shaman. I got in, and I’m considered a BACA child now. Despite being 17, turning 18 when I talked to them. They spent time with me when my abuser was over, they gave me therapy resources. They give you something called a ‘level 1′ where they go to your house with as many bikers as they can, i shit you not a solid 20-40 bikers came from even out of province, and met me. I got to choose my biker name and I got a vest with patches on it and my name on it. They all hugged a Teddybear before giving it to me, and told me if I ever felt the BACA bear was running out of love, to give them a call and they’d refill it for me, and then I got a ride on one of their bikes. Just a day or so ago I went to an annual party with them and they we ate food one of them cooked and had a lot of laughs. 

I’ve never felt as loved as I did being a part of the BACA family. They also gave me dog tags with the names, and phone numbers of my 2 workers.  So I can call them whenever I feel scared. 

BACA is an absolutely wonderful group that will do everything in it’s power to help any child whos been abused. 

And it doesn’t end when you’re 18 either. As long as you get in contact/get your level 1 before you’re 18? you’re ALWAYS a BACA kid. I’m 18 now and they still invite me to parties, ask me if I’m okay, and are there for me. They’re still trying to find me resources for therapy. 

BACA has changed my fucking life. 

I have had a really tough year, like a lot of people. I've been unemployed for a long time, unable to find work, and I've been hospitalised multiple times due to my mental health. I got out of my latest hospital stay yesterday.

And now I'm moving house. And I can't afford it. I'm required to hire carpet cleaners and I have to hire cleaners to do what I physically can't as that's the only way I can get my bond back to pay my new bond. I have to hire removalists. It's insane. I'm already barely surviving. I really need help.

To top it all off my PayPal got restricted because I can't use my real name online because my father has attempted to stalk me.

So I'm begging for donations. Any amount at all. Even a dollar. Anything to help me survive and get into my new place. I've been denied loans. I don't have any other options.

The only way I can receive donations currently is through Ko-fi, which is connected to my friend's old verfied PayPal, which I have access to.

Please help. If you've ever used the orange and pink lesbian flag, please reblog. I'm so desperate and while I hate doing this, I don't know what else I can do.
