It may not surprise you that maintaining a household today is costly. To have a roof over our heads, clothes on our bodies, and food in our bellies – to live – is not free. Recognizing that we all share the same major expense categories and challenges brought on by national crises, we urge you to consider that, for victims of domestic abuse, these areas are further complicated by the chaos in their personal lives.
While there are many areas in which a survivor may seek assistance, one of the most critical supports in a community’s safety net is shelter. Those who reside there, adults and children fleeing abuse, are in life-threatening situations with few personal resources available to them.
The counseling and legal services referenced here are just the beginning of what shelter life offers. Case management, life-skills coaching, advocacy, safety planning, pet-sheltering, security, access to clothing, personal care items, prepared meals, and more provide the support victims need to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of abuse.
Last year, 200 individuals called our safe house home, and not a day has gone by this fiscal year where less than five individuals needed shelter at any given time. It takes nearly $1,000,000 each year to maintain this sanctuary so that when our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, peers, or acquaintances may need it, it is available.
The thousands who have relied upon us through the years were only able to do so through support like yours. We challenge you to continue helping provide the hope needed to change lives and build a strong community!
