Stacy Jane
Manage episode 333445929 series 2603035
Stacy Jane is an incredibly inspiring and courageous woman. Moving countries after fleeing an abusive relationship, she used her experiences to help others by founding Escabags.
Escabags provides ‘escape bags’, handmade tote bags containing essential items that a victim and his or her children would need when first leaving a dangerous or abusive situation.
In two short years, about 5,000 escape bags have been collected. Escabags are now available in 1,000 locations around Australia, a figure that’s growing by the week.
Stacy talks openly about her experiences, and how what began as therapeutic sewing to help her PTSD turned into a successful charity.
