Sue Rock is the Founder and Executive Director of Sue Rock Originals Everyone, Inc. Sue Rock Originals Everyone, Inc is the internationally acclaimed textile charity committed to supporting the lives of survivors of domestic violence. With such a small percentage of women leaving domestic violence situations nationwide, they felt it was important to provide direct support to these women who have made the courageous first steps towards change. Using donated fabric from the interior design and fashion industries, they empower these women in the community by training them in all aspects of the textiles arts (sewing, knitting, weaving etc.). Survivors can create their new clothing or home furnishings in SROE's Brooklyn studio free of charge! Volunteers for this organization receive the raw materials to create NEW clothing and accessories for women living in temporary housing. Women leaving the cycle of violence often leave with the clothes on their back. Volunteers create handknit and hand crocheted apparel, home decor and what's more - a sense of hope! All items purchased from Sue Rock Originals Everyone are made with upcycled fabrics and all proceeds support their work training survivors of domestic violence in the needle arts!
