Every ten minutes another person becomes a victim of Domestic Abuse in this country. There aren’t enough places that can help nor are there enough people that can deal with that level of sadness. People say that we have to do something to stop it. What can we do to stop a person intent on hurting the person they ‘love’? The answer is maybe not much but we can help. Those affected that need to get back on their feet and get their lives together.
Our mission is very simple, help our sisters (and brothers) that need help, through fundraising and altruistic support. There are many factors involved and everyone has something to contribute. Be it through funds, contacts, volunteering or donations. We plan on helping by giving a step up, one person at a time. We will be documenting everything we’re doing and posting updates. We want everyone involved to know how you have helped someone you don’t even know.
The idea for this came to me when a dear friend was just trying to get her kids back from the system. No mother deserves to lose her children because of someone else’s carelessness and malice. Every time the caseworker came to inspect her home, it didn’t matter how much my friend complied the caseworker would turn around and ask for something else. She could bend over backwards showing the powers that be she’d do what it took to get her children, they’d just give her another obstacle to face. Her sadness was too much for me to take and I decided to do what I could to help her.
Then in discussing this mission with another friend she cracked a joke. With the list given to her by the case worker wouldn’t it be cheaper for her to buy a new house…hmm? In a manner of speaking perhaps. Then we thought how could we raise funds for that? In the interim we began to organize and figure out how to fundraise to help not just our friend but others as well. If we can get the ball rolling on this and pull it off, why can’t we help others? Stay posted as we begin to organize events and have contacts in specific cities that can help in doing this…
Thank you for your time, for listening to our plight and for your help.
