It would help if you read the article fully rather than jumping to criticize a sexual assault survivor: "she will donate any money she raises beyond the $11,000 to the YWCA and the Association of Women for Action and Research (AWARE)."

However, AllYouCanEat, since you're a strong proponent of sexual assault survivor's charities, you can be the change you wish to see in the world and donate even more directly! You don't have to wait around, you can help people in need!
