What Others Who've Used Our Victim Advocacy Services Have to Say

I wanted to express my gratitude for all you have done for my family, friends and me these past few days.  Just sitting in court with me put me at ease.  This was such a difficult situation that I had to go through and it made it a little easier with the help of the CVC Advocates.  You were part of the success of the trial and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Victim of Sexual Assault

Thank you, thank you for everything!  I just can’t tell you how much you helped all of us during this process.  Before all of this started I had no idea your agency existed and now…I am so grateful.  Your calm energy and words of encouragement were invaluable.  You answered question after question with patience and kindness.  And being able to see your face in the courtroom as I testified was so grounding and supportive.  You supported our strength and didn’t empower our fears.

Victim, Sexual Assault

On behalf of the District Attorney’s Office, I would like to express our recognition and gratitude for the work that (unnamed advocate) has performed in the case of Commonwealth v. (unnamed defendant).  This advocate has been invaluable through its progression.  She has consistently demonstrated a willingness to go above and beyond in terms of working hours. Even more importantly, she has showed a level of empathy toward and compassion for the victims that allowed them to feel at ease under extreme stress that ultimately enabled us to more effectively prosecute the case.

Assistant District Attorney

With this tragic situation, without you, we wouldn’t have been able to move on in life.

Victim, Childhood Sexual Assault

Thank you for your presence yesterday.  It meant the world to us to have you explain what was going on.  Your insights were exceptional. We really felt like we had someone on our side.

Victim, Burglary

My husband and I can’t thank you enough for all you have done to support our family these last 18 months. You have an amazing gift. We could not have done this without you. You will always hold a special place in my heart.

Parent, Child Victim of Sexual Assault

…Again, The Crime Victims’ Center of Chester County, Inc. came to the rescue.  Thank you for what you do to make this and so many other rescues in Chester County possible.

Victim, Stalking

As a result of your presentation on child safety we were able to identify a little girl who had been molested for years and suffered in silence. You are a hero. You helped save not just this child but many others who slowly came forward after witnessing the courage and strength of this survivor. Had you not been there other innocent victims would still be at risk. Our community is forever grateful for the work you do.
