I don't connect the "darkness" of the story to the app, no. I do agree that it is not a typical place to put a story like this, and I wonder how the friend feels about having what happened to her used in "your" story of starting a business. Can't really shake the feeling, because of its location, that the story is there to get me to try the app, which seems shifty. Worked, though, and I'm glad I read it since I wasn't aware of the charity.

My friend gave me full permission to use this story, but after seeing all of the feedback, I'm thinking of putting it into an FAQ.

Would you consider that a good spot for it?

Is the question frequently asked? Unless it is, which seems uncertain, I'd suggest it might be better placed on an "About Us" page, as others here have suggested, with the FAQ reserved for questions more directly relevant to users of the app.
