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.
