Building a safety net and connecting resources for survivors escaping violence

I am a survivor of rape and domestic violence and am on the path of no longer considering myself to be solely a survivor but also a ‘thriver’. In this role I hope to empower and encourage other women who have experienced the same circumstances through Survive2Thrive. Women who have found the courage to leave their abusers are extremely vulnerable and filled with guilt and self-doubt. It is devastating if they have no support and a safe place to go while they put their lives and often the lives of their children back together. The support and services provided by Survive2Thrive are essential, life changing and often life saving. Domestic violence and sexual abuse is a huge problem and often seems overwhelming but everyone can make a difference each in his or her own way. In the words of Mother Teresa, “We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.” Join us as we reach out and touch the lives of families at a critical time when this help, guidance and support means the most.
