Anyone who has clicked on this page to check it out or make a donation-thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you. Whether you know it or not, domestic violence affects EVERY ONE! Even if you have not been a victim of it, you know someone who has, trust me.
I have pledged to be the change I wish to see in the world and believe that one person can make a difference. By reading the list below, you will see what a small donation means to someone in need. I know that there are many charities to choose from and ALL deserve attention, but for right now, over the next 2 months, I am choosing this one to shine light upon.
I ask that you consider making a small donation if you can and in doing so, it is not for me-but for someone who is living in a very dark place, with seemingly no way out, that YOU can shine a light of hope for.
With much love, peace and gratitude,
Mandy

I hope you’ll make a donation and help me meet my fundraising goal. Safe Passage relies on support from people like us to fund their programming--including an emergency shelter program, individual counseling and support groups, legal services, a 24-hour hotline and more. Here are some examples of what these services cost:
$20: Emergency funds for a woman to purchase groceries or diapers
$45: A one-hour counseling session for a woman seeking help for the first time
$80: One weekly drop-in group session for survivors of domestic violence
$100: An hour of ASL interpreting for a deaf survivor's counseling session
$135: Three sessions for children who have witnessed domestic violence
$500: A month of on-call advocacy for victims of domestic violence police calls
All contributions are tax-deductible, and you’ll receive an emailed receipt immediately after you donate.
