“They say there is a blessing behind every challenge and I feel like my teenage experience with the NEWS family and living at the NEWS Shelter was my blessing. Sometimes life takes you in a direction you never saw yourself going, but it turns out to be the best road. And although in the beginning it felt like a bitter situation, it taught me about compassion. It wasn’t easy having to deal with domestic violence in my home. There were days where I felt afraid, and things changed in ways I never really expected. However, fast forward 10 years later and NEWS became my family again. I now work for NEWS as an Advocate. Now I strive to give back to our clients with compassion.”

OCTOBER IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH
Help us raise $10,000 by October 31!!
Funds raised in the month of October will help house DV survivors in need of emergency shelter.

As COVID-19 rages on, we continue to house DV victims and their families in hotel rooms to ensure their safety and health—from both abuse and the coronavirus.

Help us raise $10,000 by the end of October to support 10 more families in need of a confidential and safe home following abuse!

Our special campaign lasts through June 2022, so consider making a sustaining pledge!
