Abuse Victim in Providence Case Needs Your Help

After Plaintiff, Robert Krankvich, came forward with his allegation of abuse April 12, his ongoing struggle with PTSD has worsened

Robert Krankvich knew it would be a difficult road ahead when going public as a victim of abuse on April 12, 2018 (link to Patch article here). Knowing that his courage may help even just one other victim of abuse come forward, or that his decision could possibly prevent another child from the pain and suffering he has endured all these years gave Robert the confidence that he was making the right decision. He knew it would not be easy, but it has been overwhelming. In the weeks since the press conference, Robert's struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder has increased significantly. His sister has created a GoFundMe page to help cover the cost of Robert's current treatment and hopes to be able have him transfer to treatment facility that specializes in treating PTSD and sexual abuse victims. You can make a donation directly on the site, share through social media, or simply leave words of encouragement to help Robert know that he is supported throughout his treatment and recovery.
