Safe Haven

Because No Mama Should Have to Choose Between Violence and the Streets

  

Poverty and domestic violence are a brutal combination—one that forces too many mamas into impossible choices. Stay in danger or face the cold, the unknown, the streets.

The facts are staggering:

  • Women in poverty have a 57% higher risk of experiencing intimate partner violence.
  • Rural women are five times more likely to face violence than rural men.
  • On any given night, 6,000 women and children are seeking refuge in shelters that don’t have enough space.

And when those doors are full? They sleep in cars. On strangers’ couches. In unsafe, unheated spaces. Once they enter homelessness, 96% of them will experience violence again.

This is where we come in.

The Safe Haven Campaign is our promise that no mama, caregiver or child gets left behind. We’re raising $250,000 to provide emergency shelter, warm clothing, food, and the resources they need to rebuild their lives.

Because leaving shouldn’t mean losing everything. Because no one should have to choose between violence and the streets.

Donate today. Stand with them. Be their safe haven.
