Successful Survivors Foundation

We're an all-volunteer non profit organization. We want to engage everyone in helping the victims of childhood abandonment, abuse, poverty, homelessness, trafficking, and every other thing that hurts when you're too little and too vulnerable to protect yourself. 

It has been estimated by the Pew Foundation that in the US alone there are 12 million former foster kids and 36 million adult victims of child abuse who were never in foster care. When you add children who experienced a sense of abandonment when a parent left the home through divorce, death, or incarceration, experiencing homelessness, parents who suffered from mental illness or who struggled with addiction, etc., the number of people who have survived childhood trauma grows exponentially. WE ARE EVERYWHERE.

Successful Survivors Foundation was founded by Rhonda Sciortino, a successful survivor of abandonment, abuse, poverty, and homelessness, to show survivors that they can use the character traits and learned abilities they acquired through their hard times to create successful lives. Rhonda and many other successful survivors have proven that it can be done. Survivors of childhood trauma can live in victimhood or we can rise up and be the strong, resilient agents of change that we are capable of becoming.
