Thinking of You – From One Survivor to Another Inc.

Thinking of You – From One Survivor to Another Inc. is a not-for-profit charity founded by Gloria Anderson, a survivor of sexual assault, who established the organisation to provide practical support and dignity to people affected by sexual, domestic, or family violence. The charity arose from Gloria’s own experience of being left with inadequate clothing and no footwear after an assault, inspiring her to ensure others do not endure the same hardship during their most vulnerable moments.

Mission and Vision

The organisation’s mission is to offer relief and support to survivors of sexual and domestic violence by providing essential items that restore a sense of hope, self-worth, and dignity. Its vision is a community where survivors receive compassionate care and practical assistance immediately following trauma, helping them to begin healing with respect and comfort.
