Hi Friends! In May of this year, I took a step in a new direction and took a position at Safe Passage. For me, this switch was about a few different things: becoming more active in my community, and renewing my commitment to an issue about which I feel strongly: ending gender-based interpersonal violence.
Every day, Safe Passage helps women and children take steps towards a brighter and safer future. Some of these steps are easier, and some are harder. Every step is important.
Leading up to the Hot Chocolate Run on December 8th, I’ve decided to Step Up for Safe Passage, and I’m asking you to join me. Please consider making a donation to support Safe Passage’s important work, so that women and children may continue to access its critical services for free in the coming year.
Here are some ways Safe Passage will put your gift to work:
$25: Resources, support and hope for a woman calling the 24-hour hotline
$75: Safe transportation for a family traveling to Safe Passage’s emergency shelter
$100: A drop-in support group session for survivors of domestic violence
$140: Education for parents on talking with their kids about domestic violence
$500: Healing counseling for a child who has witnessed violence
All contributions are tax-deductible, and you’ll receive an emailed receipt immediately after you donate.
Every day, I see how donations like yours make a huge difference for our neighbors.
Thank you so much!
