Your donation provides crucial support to those in need

Your contribution can help break the cycle of violence and offer hope to those in need. Even a small donation can make a big difference in the fight against family violence.

We thank and wish to express our deepest appreciation and gratitude to all our donors who have made a significant difference in the lives of the women and children we are serve. Their names could be anonymous, but the impact of their generosity is visible on the faces and smiles of the women and their children who have benefitted the most from their kindness.

Their steadfast support and dedication were highly instrumental in building a brighter future and in restoring hope among immigrants, refugees, and visible minority women-survivors of family violence.
