Domestic violence is a big problem and so many don't realize there is help out there for them. The Domestic Violence Center is trying to change all that. So many times women in these situations feel they have no rights or they have been beaten up and put down so often they don't know any different. These are difficult situations to break free of and centers such as DVC are in need of your support to help these women and children.
The DVC has services such as helplines, shelters, counseling and legal aid, but they need your donations to help keep them going. Invest in the life-changing opportunities offered to clients of the DVC by supporting the Hope Gala this year!
Other ways to support the DVC are to make a contribution or even donating your old cell phone. Please check the website for more information. http://www.dvcenter.org/
All contributions are tax deductible.
Thank you

Just to say, it's not just women who suffer from domesticviolence, I was always told never ever hit a woman. So I took it - and have the scars on my head to priove it.
ReplyDeleteI accept that against women is a lot more prevalent (prob 90%+) but there are blokes out there that have also had their lives made a misery because of it.
Your so right Taunted! I thought of that as I wrote this wondering how to incorporate it. Men hide it more than women do so the precentage may be higher than people think.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky I have family that helped, most don't have that.
Thanks for posting such a good message. As a survivor of domestic violence, I'm always touched when someone makes an effort to spread the message that there is hope and help available. If anyone needs someone to talk to, feel free to send them to me as well. Having been there and survived and healed, I'm in a position to help others now. :)
