More women were killed by their husbands or boyfriends since Sept. 11 than "all the Americans who were killed by 9/11 or in Afghanistan and Iraq."--Gloria Steinem (10/1/2014)
That is hard to believe, but sadly true. It is also hard to believe that it was 20 years ago that I began my work supporting families who were experiencing domestic violence. As a law student and then as an attorney, for the next 10 years this was my full-time work and passion. As I became a mother and left the practice of law, I left this work, also, knowing it was in the hands of other tireless advocates who continue to amaze me, like the folks at Safe Passage. My passion for this issue has never faded and that is why I am participating in the 11th Annual Hot Chocolate Run. This great event raises funds for Safe Passage, the organization addressing domestic violence in Hampshire County.

Like last year, I will match any gift I receive up to my goal!
Will you join me in supporting this terrific organization? I know how terrific they are because I worked with them for almost 8 years.

Every day, Safe Passage helps survivors of domestic violence take steps towards a brighter and safer future. Some of these steps are easier, and some are harder. Every step is important.

Before I walk or run, I’ve decided to Step Up for Safe Passage, and I’m asking you to join me. Please make a donation to support Safe Passage’s important work. Safe Passage relies on people like you and me to bring hope, safety, and justice to women and families.

Here are some ways Safe Passage will put your gift to work:

 $30: Resources, support and hope for a woman calling the 24-hour hotline
$55: A survivor's first counseling session. For many of Safe Passage's clients, this is the first time they've felt heard. It's the first time in years that they've felt hopeful.
$120: A drop-in support group session for survivors of domestic violence
$225: Information, advice and support for a survivor facing a divorce or custody dispute
$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. You can make a difference for families affected by domestic violence. I hope you’ll join me! Thank you so much for your support!  If you want to register for the event or learn more about it, visit http://hotchocolaterun.com. But you better hurry; the event will fill up quickly!
