Wish List

For a moment I’d like you to imagine what it must be like living in fear of your partner. How helpless and hopeless you feel when you get smacked, beaten, sworn at…how much it must take to hold onto your sanity, trying to keep it together for the sake of your children. And then…one day you just can’t do it anymore. You can’t lie to yourself anymore that it will get better. You need help. You need to flee and it’s the scariest thing you’ve ever done. But you do it. You leave with nothing except your children – because that’s all you can carry.

That is the harsh reality of the women and children who find themselves seeking shelter at Safe House. They don’t come with suitcases of clothes or money for food. They come with nothing and have to start all over again. And they can’t do it without your help. So, here’s our wish list. I hope it inspires you to make a donation. No matter how small, it WILL make a difference.
