Hi friends and family,
Did you know that October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month? DVAM is an opportunity for all of us to stand together in solidarity and uplift survivors.
This year I am participating in HopeWorks’ Purple Challenge to raise awareness and funds for their crisis intervention and prevention education programs. This cause is very meaningful to me, so I hope you will join me in supporting an amazing organization!
If you’re not familiar with HopeWorks, they are a local nonprofit that provides vital services to people impacted by sexual and intimate partner violence. HopeWorks commemorated its 46th anniversary this year – that’s over four decades of helping survivors move from crisis to recovery. For the last 2 years, I’ve been involved with HopeWorks, and I have been a supporter of the organization for 7 years, I truly believe in the work that they do. Within the last 2 years, they provided free, comprehensive intervention services to over 3,400 survivors. They also reach almost 1,800 individuals through prevention education programs. Even one person experiencing domestic violence is one too many. Sadly, many people in our community experience this type of abuse every day and need support. The good news is, with your gift, HopeWorks can continue to meet the short and long-term needs of each and every survivor who enters their program!
Your donation goes directly to support the following services:
• Sexual and Intimate Partner Violence 24-Hour Helpline
• Confidential emergency shelter and extended housing for survivors and their children
• Hospital Accompaniment Program providing comfort and advocacy to survivors at Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center
• Emergency financial assistance for survivors
• Crisis and ongoing counseling for adults and children
• Support groups & long-term wellness programs for survivors
• Legal representation enabling clients to obtain Civil Orders of Protection
• Awareness, prevention, and wellness programs addressing the root causes of violence
Please join me in helping HopeWorks create a world free from violence and abuse! It’s a cliché but it’s true: no donation is too small to make a difference.
Any amount you can give helps HopeWorks continue to provide life-changing services to people seeking safety, and prevention programs that benefit our
whole community.
I appreciate your support. Thank you for supporting survivors!
