[humanser] Update regarding sexual assault volunteer opportunity and a question

[Miranda B.]

Hi Carly,
First, I'm so sorry that you were violated in this way. I do hope that you
are on your journey to healing!
Thank you for your encouragement. I am not giving up on this opportunity
yet, and the encouragement I have received from you and others has helped me
to continue moving forward.
Thanks again, and have a wonderful week!

Best wishes, Miranda

Good morning, When I came into contact with this strand of medical person
ale after being sexually manhandled, from what I saw, a blind person could
absolutely provide some support while the cops and other legal people are
interviewing the victim, helping them prepare to talk to the cops and I'm
sure you can get someone to help you get refreshments for the patient. I
don't believe an otherwise doable role should just pass you by simply
because you don't collaborate with someone to help keep the patient
comfortable. Yet, as always, we listen to our supervisors manning the
opportunity. At 09:40 AM 8/17/2016, Justin Williams via Humanser wrote:
