“I have learned a lot about myself here at this safe place. I call it ‘my safe place.’ Every day I wake up is a new start. A new day to get things done in my life without the worry of my abuser sabotaging my plans. The dark path that I was on is now lit with the light of the smiles and gleam in the eyes of the staff.”

“I feel very fortunate to be able to contribute my time and treasure to an organization so focused on healing, supporting and empowering community members who have become victims of domestic violence. There is great satisfaction in knowing that I am adding to the organization’s mission in a meaningful way and my involvement is rewarded by witnessing the caring, invested professionals at the Shelter consider the best interest of their clients in every decision (including financial) they make, resulting in life saving outcomes. I know my time and donations are always valued and have the potential to powerfully impact the life of a member of my community.”

"This is so much more than a temporary shelter. I jokingly call it my battered women's boot camp. This shelter's program truly is designed to empower you! Here, I found the tools to rebuild every aspect of my life."
