Meet One of Our Board Members, Julie Weil

Julie Weil is such an inspiration.  Click HERE to read about her and to hear her tell her horrific story in her own words.  She turned her tragedy into a triumph for all women.  We are proud that she serves on our Board of Directors.

She has made so many positive changes in Palm Beach County for victims of rape. She helped to pass the SAFER ACT and was instrumental in opening the Butterfly House at Wellington Regional Medical Center. Victims of sexual assault are brought to the center and treated privately and with the dignity they deserve.  Since its opening in 2011, the incidents of rape that have been reported in Palm Beach County have increased three-fold.

Julie is a true hero.  She persevered, and as a result, the monster who terrorized her is serving seven consecutive life sentences.  All of his appeals have been exhausted. (More HERE.)

You can visit Julie’s website, titled “Keeping Moms Safe,” HERE to learn safety tips and other valuable information.

Thank you, Julie, for all that you have done and all that you continue to do to help women in need.
