HOW WE HELP
Since our founding in 2014 we have:
Fulfilled 2650 Survivor Requests
Distributed $1,450,000
These funds can determine whether a survivor escapes her abuser, gains safe haven or can provide for her children. All of the women we help are referred to us by other domestic violence organizations in the D.C. metropolitan area, and are therefore vetted by a lawyer, social worker, or client advocate. Together, with our partners we assess the clients' needs and the best way to meet them.
2025 New DONOR SPOTLIGHT
We would like to acknowledge several members of one family foundation that generously gave us $70,000 in 2025 in memory of our Executive Director’s late husband Andrew that passed away in July 2025. We are beyond grateful for this gift.
Client Stories
Having just safely escaped her sex trafficker 18 year old Gloria is finally safe in a shelter. While she has a long road ahead of her to rebuild her life and recover from the trauma she is in desperate need of new clothing in particular undergarments so that she can start looking for a job. We provided her with a Target gift card so she can buy herself some needed clothes.
“I think we all know people who have been touched by domestic violence in our lives, whether it’s your mother, your sister, or your girlfriend. I personally know many people who have dealt with the situation, and I think it’s important to stress there are ways to talk about it.””
