The church’s global humanitarian arm, directed by Sharon Eubank, first counselor in the Relief Society’s general presidency, is now Latter-day Saint Charities, according to a recent announcement.
Debbie Cole was sexually assaulted 30 years ago at age 19. At the prodding of others, the Irish Latter-day Saint pleaded for mercy for her attacker at his sentencing. But after serving six years behind bars, the man committed additional sexual assaults.
“I felt somewhat responsible because I spoke up for him,” Cole says in September’s Ensign, the church’s monthly magazine for adults.
