When Amy first reached out to us, she believed she didn’t have many options. As a young mother, she found herself trapped in a cycle of fear and violence. Her husband had become increasingly abusive, and Amy recognized it wasn’t likely to get better. She needed to escape for her and her daughter, Lily’s, safety.

 

One cold night, after a particularly violent incident, Amy knew she had to leave soon. With just a small bag of essentials and Lily’s tiny hand in hers, she sought refuge at our shelter. It was your support that made this safe haven possible, allowing Amy and her daughter a chance to heal and rebuild.

 

Thanks to the kindness of donors like you, Amy found not just safe shelter, but a community of support. Your contributions funded her life-changing services such as counseling and legal advocacy, empowering Amy to take control of her life. With your help, she worked to overcome the trauma of abuse and build a safe and peaceful future for her and Lily.

 

Lily, once a timid and anxious toddler, began to thrive in a nurturing environment—an opportunity you helped create. Through your generosity, she received emotional support and engaging activities that allowed her to regain her sense of joy and security. Witnessing her smile and play freely is a powerful reminder of the difference your support makes.

​

Amy's journey is just one of many made possible by heroes like you. Every day, we open our doors to survivors seeking safety and a fresh start. However, the demand for our services is rising, and we urgently need your help to continue to serve survivors in your community.

 

We need you to continue to provide the essential services that survivors like Amy and Lily rely on.​ Every donation, regardless of size, is a vital contribution to the lives of those we serve. With your continued generosity, you can offer safety, healing, and hope. Please consider making a year-end gift. Your contribution will empower survivors to create brighter futures and transform lives.

 

Thank you for being a hero to those in need and for believing in the strength of survivors.
