It's Christmas time when most people around the world reach out to, visit and connect to their families. But for some, it is still a time of fear and wish for escape from one's families, or more specifically spouse and a toxic situation of domestic abuse.
It's so hard to know what really goes on, behind closed doors. When things get really bad, though, Sometimes the victim tries to find a safe place to to take refuge and that is what your funds are used for: shelter. We are trying to find ways to help these women have the courage to seek refuge and be able to find safety when needed. Whenever needed.
Ashanti, 32, was a child bride married off at 16 to a man triple her age. She got almost immediately pregnant and now has 6 children. Despite the need to find a place to escape the violence and base, she has been unable to leave because she's scared of leaving the children. Your funds contribute to safe escape for women like Ashanti.
Please continue to give as the need grows, especially more so during holiday time.
