They care for Dunbar Village victim
Friday, August 28, 2009 at 10:49AM The Blogmother A constant presence during the Dunbar Village gang-rape trial has been a quiet lady for whom the needs and well-being of the victim are of serious concern.
It's also her job, for Palm Beach County Victim Services.
She can't talk about it.
Nor would the folks in the agency's central office downstairs on the fifth floor.
The literature they shared holds much insight into the special services they provide. Most was duplicated in languages other than English, such as Spanish and Creole.
More on that to come. We've also hoping the director will respond to a request to share even cursory or general information about the agency's work: what the needs are in this community, and how they are met.

Great! I've been waiting to hear such info. I do similar work in the city where I live.
Thanks! :) :)
Can we send donations to this advocacy group for the victims?
If you check the archives, there is the address for the Victim's Assistance Fund, however, I don't know if it is still active. You used to be able to go into any Wachovia and ask to donate to the Dunbar Village VAF, but again, that was two years ago. She is receiving assistance from the WPB Victim's assistance program.
