Question
My girlfriend is a survivor that is still struggling. I would like to get a personalized autograph on a picture of Tori. Tori is her hero and it would mean a lot. I am willing to pay or make donations to RAINN. Can you lead me in the right direction?

Answer
Hello Again!

Here is the answer I got from the woman at RAINN:
Nancy,

I apologize for the delay in responding to your e-mail.  We generally put a few items up for auction throughout the year and we have put signed posters up for purchase in the past and will likely do so again when we have them.  Unfortunately, I cannot tell you when in the future you may be able to find these items, but you can always check our website for updates.  I apologize for being unable to give you a more specific answer to your question.  Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any additional questions or concerns.

Best Regards

You could continue to check in with them and their website for any new signed items.

Hi Rudy!

Sorry to hear about your girlfriends struggles. Presently, there are no signed pictures of Tori being offered through RAINN. I did contact someone for you to find out if it's possible to get one or if at some point they would be available for purchase.

There is, however, a signed lithograph available to purchase. It's based on a real photo and can be found here:

I'd also recommend the CD available in this "store" ~ I have one and it's awesome. If she's into music, this CD may lift her up a bit.

EBay is the other option. There is a Signed 2005 Tori Amos/RAINN calendar up for auction on EBay right now. Current price is $200. If that's out of your range,
you could find other signed pics and posters of Tori. Just make sure they have COA behind the listing title. This means 'Certificate of Authenticity'. I've gotten a few for friends myself and they are great.

Hope you find something to life her spirits.

Thanks for asking! I'll get back to you with more information when I hear back from the RAINN rep.
