Your strengthening support enables us to be theirs!
"You were my strength when I thought mine was gone" and "your program was beneficial in making me realize that I was worthy", Laura recently told us, when she left the Women's Center of Rhode Island just seven weeks after her arrival to set up her new apartment for her toddler and the baby she was expecting soon.
Laura's journey with us began when she picked up the phone to call us. Feeling terrified and powerless as a result of the abuse she had received from her spouse, she was expecting another child and feared for the safety of her toddler, the baby as well as her own.
Within moments, she felt a sense of relief as the calm and supportive voice on the other end reassured her that we would work with her to help her get away from her abuser.
While each survivor's story is personal and unique, Laura's story echoes the voices of many women who have turned to the Women's Center for the strength and support they needed to survive domestic violence.
Strengthened by the generous support of our donors, we are able to "answer the call" for hundreds of women like Laura by providing the vital resources they need to renew their strength and rebuild their lives, not only for themselves but for their children too!
Thank you for answering our call for your generous support!
