A beautiful weekend at @hollergirlmusicfestival ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š
Sending our biggest thanks to our friends from @li Sending our biggest thanks to our friends from @lifeatgray and Hyland!

Mary Annโ€™s story is a powerful reminder of the very real threats of intimate partner abuse. And that one personโ€™s voice and determination can make change happen!ย 

โ€œI lay there, my mind racing with a single thought. I donโ€™t want to die. The man staring at me was not the man I had married. I knew I had to run.ย ย 

The domestic violence order meant nothing to him. He wasted no time violating it, calling and leaving 23 messages within five days. 

The ankle monitor offered no real protection โ€“ he had already decided he was coming for me.ย 

I reached out to James Tipton, my state representative, and left a voicemail about my situation. He called me the next dayโ€ฆโ€ย ย ย

Weโ€™re so grateful for these incredible @gsp_ky s Weโ€™re so grateful for these incredible @gsp_ky students who spent their Saturday helping us organize the basement! ๐Ÿงน๐Ÿ“ฆ Our advocates were very excited to see such a clean, neat space. ๐Ÿ’œ 

Our shelterโ€™s basement stores food, towels, sheets, personal supplies, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, and other essentials for more than 300 adults and children each year. Last year it took more than 500 hours of staff and volunteer time to keep the basement tidy, so support like this makes a big difference! Thank you!!

We grieve and stand with you. ๐Ÿ’œ
