Services

Domestic violence impacts women, children, and communities. Our services and interventions

help victims to have a support system and hope for a better life. 

Who we Are

charitable organization whose mission is to provide assistance, aid and comfort through shelter,

education and support services to battered women and their children, to include survivors of

and Victim Advocates.
