I will be sharing this with my daughter and my nieces, as I have 9 - and they all could definately use this information. This world is full of predators looking to take advantage of our young innocent girls, I know, because I used to be one myself. If I would have had the knowledge ahead of time - things might have turned out very different for me. My hope is, that your DVD will help my girls to be aware of their strengths, and their surroundings, and be in control of their situation, should something happen to them - God forbid.

Thank you for making this important DVD, and supplying it to the public.

Good luck on your CNN Heroes nomination!!!! You deserve it.

Please accept this donation for your outstanding efforts in protecting young girls everywhere. After learning about a teenage girl being assaulted this week in our local high school, by another student, I realized I needed to get this DVD and show it to my 13 year old daughter and her friends. Thank you so much for all your hard work and love for other uman beings.

Last night when eating dinner with my 2 daughters they brought up the subject of school fights. They also realized they had no idea how to defend themselves. And asked why I never taught them. I’ve done everything with them from swimming, skiing, soccer, tennis, cheer, career exploring, homework, and every other parent obligation I could manage. It suddenly shocked me that I haven’t covered one of the most important at their ages, 13 & 16, self defense. Both are strong, athletic and confident, until the subject of self defense comes up. I immediately started searching for ways to help and found �Just Yell Fire� I feel shame in not doing this sooner. Please accept my donation and send a DVD.

My daughter turns 15 next month and I am an elementary school teacher in Santa Rosa, CA. I heard about the movie on Clark Howard last night and listened to a few seconds on my computer. I am really impressed.

What a proactive, "real" and effective way to reach and keep our girls safe.

Thank you for being courageous enough to make this film. I have granddaughters I would like to protect by empowering them with the tools for such events. I am grateful to you.

I saw you on the Montel Williams show recently and I was just SO impressed! The number of lives affected by your video is incomprehensible and I have to applaud you for creative spirit and willingness to take action to do something for the welfare of others.

I have a 8 nieces and I would like to show them all your DVD, so I was wondering if you would please send me a copy. I filled out the order form to make a donation. I sure hope you get enough responses so that you can get this important information out nationwide - and beyond!

Just Yell Fire is the next best thing to having found a magic wand for protecting my family, and I mean that very sincerely. Thank you again for creating it!

When I was 13 I was brutally raped, I thought I was going to die- and I should have died. I managed to get away somehow- then about a year or two later he attacked me again in my High school. I was wondering if I could get a copy of this so I could bring it to my high school- and so I could share it with my friends.

Thank you so much for what you are doing- it is amazing. Please, keep up the work- and I will help spread the word.

This is a comment sent in to our trainers Leila Rae Sommerfeld and Valerie Mainridge of Gresham, OR

Thank you again from our entire team! You and Valerie did such a fabulous job. Several of our volunteers commented at the end that your traiing was the best self-defense class they had ever taken - and several had attended classes in the past. you adapted your presentation to fit perfectly into our time constraints and skill level. You and Valerie brought such great energy and enthusiasm to our class. We especially appreciate you taking time on a Sunday. We feel empowered to continue to advocate for sexually exploited women in and around Portland.

We are so pleased to know you and your work. I hope this is only the beginning of our partnership.

I checked out the link for your daughter's film. Very cool! I was thinking about it this morning when I was on the treadmill and CNN had a piece on ladies that were potential military recruits being raped by their recruiters. They interviewed this one person, who was sixteen at the time of the rape, and her responses made me think that she just didn't have a clue how to fight back. I hope your daughter's movie empowers women to not only learn how to fight back, but to take action when they need to!
