Right now, more than

enough time to reach your fundraising goal

raise a $250 fundraising minimum. The more funds you raise, the
more impact you will have on creating safety for women and their
children who’ve escaped violence


web page – upload a picture, add personal message, and send out
request for donations and you’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll
reach (and surpass!) your goal
