National Trial Experience for Over 35 Years
My name is Ally, and this is my story. I was sexually abused from the age of 16 years old by my teacher while attending a blind step program. I felt like the only one that something like this happened to, but I can to realize I’m not. That’s why I wanted to share that it can happen to anyone in hopes that other survivors of abuse will come forward and make their voice heard and regain their power. If you are a victim of sexual abuse, now is the time to hold your abuser accountable. If you or someone you know has been abused at a National Federation of the Blind Facility funded by the NFB, please reach out to the O'mara Law Group today.
