"Unembarrassed. Unashamed." T-SHIRT . In one interview with a coach who had abused boys for decades, he cavalierly justifies the sexual abuse by saying that he was teaching lessons about "Being unembarrassed and unashamed." This shirt aims to take the power of those words back. The 3/4 sleeve baseball-style t-shirt comes with the #16 on the back, representing the 1 in 6 boys who have suffered these abuses. You will also receive the Coached into Silence WHISTLE & lanyard, the personalized Thank You POSTCARD, and the Thank you on our website.

Wow, Deb said it best. I am 32 in June, and I too am trying to start my healing journey just this past year, to truly heal and stop feeling depressed and down and everything that comes with abuse. You know I've got your back Chris, and will continue to going forward as long as you will have me around. I would still like to donate somehow if possible if the goal isnt met. I've committed and I would like to see it happen, just let me know.
Its amazing how a twitter "arguement" has created what I hope to be a lasting friendship. Wishing all the best with this and with life.

Dearest Chris, I'm so Proud of You and I Thank You for making this extraordinary film! ♥=0)♥ Thank you also for letting us help you make this a reality. I happily pledged a little more than what I could afford as I'm also a survivor of child molestation as well as rape. I am 47 and so very tired of carrying the extra weight, both physically and psychologically, that I was never meant to carry. I'm just beginning my journey to wellness and I look to you as a fine example of how to be. I don't know where they are nor do I hate the people who did what they did to me but I hope that they realize how they hurt someone who didn't deserve it. No one deserves it, no one asks for it, it's never right. Thank you for speaking out in such an eloquent fashion.
I don't think I blinked and I shook as I watched all your Youtube videos as well as the one on this website. I pray you get the funding you need to make your film, it's so vitally important and urgently needed. We Need to Help Each Other Heal and together we can help cure a lot of what ills this planet. I Tweeted about this and also posted the link on Facebook. I'll fight along side of you my brother. Much Love and Respect, Deb
