THIS IS SARAH

(AND SAM)
Sarah endured 5 years of emotional & physical abuse at home. But now she has her smile back. AFTER INFLICTING YEARS of verbal, emotional and physical abuse, one day Sarah’s partner beat her in front of her son. That was her turning point.
Without grabbing a coat, she walked in the rain to the nearest phone and called the police. The police referred her to us and to a women’s shelter. With support, Sarah became aware of her rights. Once she understood her rights she refused to give up. Sarah has relocated and is safe now. Her kids are also safe and have a wonderful strong role model who stands up for what is right.
We believe that women and girls can be strong alone, but they can be fearless together. Our services and programs take abuse victims beyond crisis to a future without fear.
