what clients say

See what former clients have to say about the prospect of bigger, better-suited space for women and children moving forward.

peace

The new building will offer time for reflection--I had so many problems I was trying to figure out. There were always peole around me in the shelter, but I often didn't feel like talking at all.

courage

When women find out they can have their own apartment, they will be encouraged to seek help. Living in a shelter seems so hard that many people might not leave the abuse.

confidence

It will help women learn how to be independent in their own space and it will be a more realistic test for living on their own.

family

It will give people a chance to act like a family, to sit at the table together, and not have to share family time with 50 other people also going through tough times.
