Welcome to the Guardian Angel Blog:

Our Stories, Our Strength

Welcome to the official blog of the Guardian Angel Project.

This is more than just a space for updates; it's a sanctuary for stories, a library of wisdom, and a testament to the incredible resilience of the human spirit.

Here, we will share the journey of building Guardian Angel, from the initial spark of an idea forged in fire to the daily victories and challenges of creating a world-first platform.

You'll find personal reflections from me, the founder, as I navigate this path from survivor to CEO.

But this space isn't just about my story—it's about our story.

It's about the collective voice of a community that refuses to be silenced.

We'll explore topics that matter: healing after trauma, understanding the complexities of the justice system, building healthy relationships, and celebrating the small, powerful acts of self-care that carry us through the darkest days.

This blog is a commitment to turning pain into purpose, and struggle into strength. It’s a place to be seen, to be heard, and to be believed.

Thank you for being here. You are not alone.

Title: Forged in Fire: The Story of Guardian Angel

For a long time, my world was defined by a single, crushing reality: a system that was supposed to protect me was failing, and I was on my own.

The journey of a survivor is often a silent one, navigated through a maze of fragmented services, repeated trauma, and the constant, draining effort of simply trying to be heard.

You tell your story to the police, then a doctor, then a support worker, then a solicitor. Each retelling isn't just words; it's reliving the worst moments of your life, over and over again.

This is the "Negative Loop." It’s a cycle of re-traumatization that grinds you down, making healing feel like a distant dream.

I lived that loop.

I fought through it.

In the middle of that fight, a new mission was forged.

Guardian Angel wasn't born in a boardroom.

It was born from a desperate need for a tool that didn't exist.

I needed a single, secure place to keep my evidence safe from my abuser.

A place to log every threatening message, every broken promise, every moment of fear, without having to worry about it being found or deleted.

I needed a lifeline that I controlled.

When I couldn't find one, I realised I had to build it myself.

That realisation was the spark.

It transformed me from a survivor fighting for my own life into a founder fighting for everyone else's.

My personal struggle became a blueprint for a global solution.

Every feature in this application and tool is a piece of my story, a lesson learned in the fire:

The Evidence Locker is the secure vault I never had.
The Agency Portal is the tool designed to break the "Negative Loop," allowing survivors to share their story once, on their own terms.
The Wellness Hub is filled with the grounding techniques and self-care tools I had to teach myself in moments of crisis.

My journey taught me that the desire to control another person is the same destructive force that drives global conflicts.

A war is not just fought on a battlefield; it's fought in the quiet, unseen spaces of a home. My fight to reclaim my personal sovereignty was my own war, and in winning it, I found my life's purpose.

Guardian Angel is the culmination of that journey.

It's built on a promise of zero-

knowledge privacy, meaning your data is yours alone.

We cannot see it.

We cannot access it.

You hold the key.

This project is my testament that it is possible to rise from the ashes.

It's proof that our deepest wounds can become our greatest strengths.

This is more than an app; it's a statement.

It says, "We hear you, we see you, we believe you."

It's the tool I wish I'd had. And now, it's here for you.

Always.

I have been completing a creative industries course, which included web design, game design and it skills.

I learnt a lot of skills including improving my written English, IT, coding, software, cv writing, communication, design, and I was able to channel my creativity into my course work and created new websites and games.

I also got to connect with new people and make friends.

A Letter from the Founder:

Why We Build Date: July 31st 2025 Category: Team Content:

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of progress, from registering as a CIC to launching new community features.

In the middle of all this exciting work, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the 'why'. Guardian Angel was born from a simple, desperate need: a safe place.

A place to be heard, to be believed, and to be in control. Every feature we build, every line of code we write, is dedicated to that single purpose.

Thank you for being on this journey with us. Your strength is our inspiration.

Breaking the 'Negative Loop':

How We're Fixing a Broken System

If you've ever had to seek help after a traumatic experience, you know the script.

You sit in a sterile room, under fluorescent lights, and you tell your story.

You hand over a piece of your soul, carefully detailing the events, the fear, the pain.

You do it for the police.

You do it again for a support worker.

You repeat it for a solicitor.

You summarise it for a doctor.

With each retel

ling, the story doesn't get easier.

It gets harder. You're forced to relive your trauma, again and again, just to get the help you need.

Evidence gets lost between departments.

Details become blurred.

Your power is taken away, and you become a case file, passed from one hand to another.

This is what I call the "Negative Loop." It’s an exhausting, re-traumatising cycle that places the entire burden of managing a fragmented system onto the person who can least afford to carry it:

the survivor.

I knew there had to be a better way.

That's why the Agency Portal is the heart of the Guardian Angel project.

We're not just building another app for individuals; we're building a new infrastructure.

We're creating a "Positive Loop" where the survivor is at the center, in complete control.

Here’s how it works:

You Tell Your Story Once: You use your private, encrypted Evidence Locker to document everything, on your own time, in your own words.
You Hold the Key: This information is locked on your device. No one can see it without your permission.
You Grant Access, Not Ownership: When you need to share information with a verified agency, you grant them temporary, view-only access to specific parts of your vault. You decide what they see, and for how long.
You Can Revoke Access at Any Time: The power always remains with you.

This simple, secure shift changes everything.

It stops the cycle of re-traumatization.

It ensures evidence is preserved accurately.

It gives you back the control that was taken from you.

Breaking the "Negative Loop" is our mission.

The Agency Portal is our tool to do it.

We're not just helping you navigate a broken system;

we're working with our partners to fix it for good.
