THOUGHTSNobody can truly love someone else until they can love themselves. |
FEARYou must face the fears, erase them with plans, and step forward believing you are doing the right thing for you. |
HURTLove does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. |
Domestic violence (also called intimate partner violence (IPV), domestic abuse or relationship abuse) is a pattern of behaviors used by one partner to maintain power and control over another partner in an intimate relationship.
OUR GOALOur goal is to provide a safe place for women and children to learn more about self sufficiency. We will bring awareness to this plague of Domestic Violence & Abuse that has impacted so many women and children. |
First Let'sEducate

Now let's WORKExpose
"Nobody believes that domestic violence kills and nobody believes it is detrimental to children. This world has got to wake up. To me, if there is domestic violence, if the children see it or hear it, that to me is detrimental. Batterers should not have rights to children".

IT'S UP TO USExchange
"No woman has to be a victim of physical abuse. Women have to feel like they are not alone".
