It Happened to Alexa Foundation

The It Happened to Alexa Foundation (IHTA) assists rape victims and their families by easing the financial burden they face while traveling to attend the criminal trial. IHTA provides financial, emotional and advocacy assistance to victims and their families during each stage of the criminal justice process, from pre-trial to closing arguments. It also works to promote respect and attitudes against sexual violence through educational outreach targeting children enrolled in elementary, middle and high schools throughout Western New York.
