The Joe Peters Foundation of Survivors

To close its services due to the lack of financial support

10 years today (Our anniversary)

24^th July 2010

Dear Friends,

The Foundation of Survivors is a non-profit organisation, due to the recession and funding issues we had to restrict our services by 80% we only able to give email support to children and adults from now on, we been helping children and adults since 1999 and also offering a range of referral services for counseling young people, unfortunately and beyond my control I failed miserably to get funding through larger charities and donations from businesses.

It’s a great sadness the foundation I ran for 10 years that was true to my heart is closing its services from the effect of 24^th July 2010; I cannot fund the foundation by myself any longer, which has mostly been the case since 1999, through my book sales and out my own family pockets.

Whilst I will always be dedicated to helping both children and adults that have suffered childhood abuse, I can only help with restricted services. Our Freephone support has gone. If you are a child in need please feel free and call our landline 01656 – 770526 or email abuse@crysilenttears.co.uk

The worry and stress of running the foundation on fresh air, has had severe effects on my health and family environment, I would like to apologise to all that have used our service that we no longer can give Freephone support.

I would like to thank everybody for their help and support over the 10 years and to all my many friends for doing their best for the foundation.

God bless

Mr. Joe Peters

Hi readers, Nickie again. I thought it was about time I let you know of my dealings with the CPS after suffering a form of abuse at the hands of my step-father. It’s a long and complicated story as to how I ended up with a step-father in the first place so I shall simply say that like most I had a Mum and a Dad, said Mum and Dad had a bit of a penchant for “swinging”. Mummy and Daddy eventually met with another couple and what ensued were divorces and remarriages of retrospective parents.

Having spoken to Joe on many occasions and learning more about the man behind the book it’s really great to see Cry Silent Tears on ebay, the biggest auction site on line today. In writing Cry Silent Tears Joe wanted to bring his story to the public and highlight just some of the issues faced by victims of child abuse. In writing the book and becoming a Times Best Seller Joe is now in a stronger position to try and move forward with his plans for the Foundation of Survivors.

Hi Readers,

You may find me posting intermittently here as a close friend of Joe and someone who likes to think they know him quite well. I chat with Joe every single day on the phone and love him to bits. Each and everyday I listen to him breaking his heart that he cannot save the world. Every ounce of Joe’s being wants to be able to help everybody but as I am sure the readers here will understand this is just impossible.
