Thanks for visiting my Hot Chocolate Run fundraising page!

On December 7, G and I are walking in the 11th Annual Hot Chocolate Run.  This will be our sixth walk in support of Safe Passage, the organization addressing domestic violence in Hampshire County. Last year, the need to support organizations such as Safe Passage came much closer to home, when we lost my friend's mother far too soon.  I can't do much, but I can try to make a difference for others.  Many of you gave generously last year, and it meant a great deal to me.  In the spirit of keeping up the good work and in honor of my friend's Mom, will you please join me in supporting this terrific organization?

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!
