By Paula Lucas | Founder & Executive Director
Vanessa first contacted us in October 2013. She and her daughter Anna were being abused by Vanessa's husband in a South American country. Vanessa's AODVC case manager Ava helped Vanessa for months with safety planning and resources. When Vanessa was ready to flee to safety to the USA with Anna in June, we were able to get them back safely because of you. Without donations through our Danger to Safety Relocation project on Global Giving, Vanessa and Anna would not have been able to flee home.
Here is a message from Vanessa: "I never thought I would see my Mama and Papa again. Anna met her grandparents for the first time. We are so happy to be alive and to be back home. You are my heros!"
We want to thank you for believing in our mission and for donating to this life-saving project.
