This Sunday December 7, our family is participating in the 11th Annual Hot Chocolate Run in Northampton. This wonderful event raises funds for Safe Passage, the umbrella organization addressing domestic violence throughout Hampshire County. This will be our 5th year participating! It is a terrific event for a great cause (and in 2012 Reza came in 1st in his age group!)
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. Safe Passage relies on people like you and me to bring hope, safety, and justice to women and families.
If you can make a donation, in any amount, it would be greatly appreciated. It is fully tax-deductible and you should receive a receipt immediately via e-mail.

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 and 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 legal support for a survivor facing a divorce or custody dispute
$500: Healing counseling for a child who has witnessed violence
