Battered women who find their way out of a violent environment are in need of new beginnings. They want to make a new home for themselves and their children, but often find that they have no immediate resources. Most are women that have been reduced to living on the streets; some are women who have children, and fled a volatile situation with only the clothes on their backs.
Beds, furniture, household items, and monetary donations can be the beginning of a new life for those who are homeless, and left with just the clothes on their backs. Basic furnishings can allow women to leave a shelter and create a new home that will provide them with comfort, security, and self respect for themselves and their children. Many of us may know someone who has gone through a similar situation, but felt helpless to help them. Together, we can help! If you have new or gently used furniture or appliances that you are thinking of throwing out, we appeal to you to donate them to our organization. We can put these items to good use. Before you take these items and throw them out, call us first. With your help, we can use these items for our auctions. Our auctions greatly contribute to the funding needed for a new home for homeless and abused women with children. This allows them to live with a feeling of security and comfort. |
