We have helped seeral families since the shelter opened in 2006. Most of them have been able to become self- dependent. Some of the women that have come to the shelter went back to school, completed their education, obtained a degree and secured employment. You and I can make a difference in the lives of women and children who are fleeing from domestic violence situations.

Examples of our accomplishments are as follows:
