Thanks for visiting my Hot Chocolate Run fundraising page! On December 2, I'm walking in this year’s Hot Chocolate Run for the first time in a few years, since I had to give up running. Instead of just donating to others, I decided to just get out and walk this year. But I need your help raising funds for Safe Passage, the organization addressing domestic violence in Hampshire County. For many years I worked with this organization, and can tell you firsthand the impact their work has on the community.
 
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.

Thank you so much for your support!
