“I had to protect my son from verbal and physical abuse. Since entering shelter, my son and I have not only felt physically safe from our abuser, but we also feel emotionally safe to express ourselves and live a healthy life.” -Survivor

“Please believe me when I say there is something special, magical, yet tangible going on here at Hope House that I didn’t find anywhere else. If only you could feel the joy, the new song in my heart, then you would see how words can only fail to express the gravity of this gift.” -Survivor

“I now know that I am going to be alright. Even though I have a ways to go, I will keep plugging along with a confidence that I had never known in all my 50 years of life...” -Survivor

“I feel proud for the first time in my life. It’s all due to Hope House and all the people here who helped me see who I am and that I am worthy of good.” -Survivor
