There is an ill wind that does not come. That is the motto of Lorena Bobbit, who was marked by a tragedy of which he drew a campaign positive.

After being abused in self-defence and cut the member of her then husband John Wayne Bobbitt in 1993, now says living the best moment of his life next to her partner David Bellinger and his young daughter three years old.

His life was not easy since then, but sobrepuso and created the Foundation Lorena's Red Wagon to help people who, like her, have been victims of domestic violence.

Teresa Rodriguez interviewed for the Here and Now. Lorraine, originally from Ecuador, left behind the difficult moments that went along with her former husband John Wayne Bobbitt and now just thinking about helping others.

Bobbitt not only overcame the trauma thanks to treatment and psychological therapies recovery, but especially for his foundation, whose aim is to try to prevent family violence.

"We try to create a more stable environment at home through family counselling and the promotion of projects and civic activities within the community," the foundation said in its website.

"We also finance aid for people abused can regain their normal lives within a transition process," he adds.
