Tanya’s story is featured in our fall Bloom news Tanya’s story is featured in our fall Bloom newsletter 💜   “I took off numerous times and went back because it was familiar.  I just woke up one morning and was like, I can’t do this anymore. I have custody of my grandson and packed his things. My best friend came and got me.  There was another young lady at the shelter, and we became really close. She asked if I’d be willing to keep her dog, Roscoe. He’s been with me ever since.  I’m so glad I was able to keep him. I didn’t know if I could do it because I’ve never owned a pet before. I’ve cried with Roscoe, talked to him.  Don’t give up hope. Just reach out. It doesn’t matter your situation—there’s always help. I know what it’s like to be afraid. It’s hard, I get it. But you can do it.”    Read Tanya’s story at the link in bio.   📲 Please reach out to our 24-hour hotline if you or someone you know is being abused - 800.544.2022.
Purple Thursday is coming to an end, and WOW, our Purple Thursday is coming to an end, and WOW, our community showed up! 💜 Thank you to everyone who helped raise awareness today. This day is important to our mission because raising awareness is an essential part of ending the cycle of abuse. Seeing purple around us shows survivors they are believed, worthy, and supported. Together, we’ve shown what care looks like: people supporting survivors, sharing resources, and calling for an end to the abuse. If you are being harmed or told no one will believe you, please know there is a community that cares. You deserve safety and healing. 📲 Call us 24/7 at 800-544-2022 to talk with a Certified Domestic Violence Advocate. We are always here for you.
