There is too much trauma in Central Virginia. Too much. [cw: sexual violence] On my way home from grabbing lunch just now, I was around the corner from my house and a woman nearly threw herself in front of my car.

I stopped. She was in obviously bad shape. She told me she needed help. She'd been raped and was from out of town. She had no idea where she was and had no place to stay.

She was begging for help. Not money. I couldn't just leave her there. She said she had an address of someone who was agreeing to take her in until a meeting with a social services group later in the week.

Replying to @EmilyGorcenski
Seems suspicious. Maybe I'm paranoid, but doesnt it seem odd that someone out of the blue throws themselves in front of your car near your home with a story that invokes sympathy.

I know my neighborhood and have seen too many people recovering from rape. It was legit.
