"It's Not Your Fault" is launching our annual "Operation Fuzzy Through the Holidays" program.  Created by a lead forensic nurse examiner, "Operation Fuzzy" provides stuffed animals and "comfort kits" to sexually abused children in hospital emergency rooms. The "comfort kits" are comprised of plain pads of drawing paper and either crayons or markers, which enable these children to tell their story of abuse in a non-verbal, non-confrontational way.  All of these items are brand new and are for the children to keep.  "Operation Fuzzy" goes a long way in helping these children get through theier hours-long examination and interview process.  Sadly, in many cases, "Operation Fuzzy" will provide the only gifts some children will receive this year. 

Donations may be mailed to It's Not Your Fault, P.O. Box 11407, Richmond, Virginia 23230 or electronically @  http://itsnotyourfault.us/donate.html

Be a hero to an abused child when he or she needs you the very most - TODAY !!
