Your Impact

Thank you so much for being there during this crazy pandemic and time over the past few weeks. Without your help, my family wouldn’t be surviving right now. Knowing there is such kind, selfless, empathetic, compassionate people in this world helps many of us, including me, in a time of need and healing. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. My son and I were overwhelmed when we received the gift cards. I cannot begin to express how much this meant to us. It brought me happy tears and muchneeded financial relief this year to help out with Christmas gifts and items we needed for our home.

YOUR IMPACT

I knew it was time to get out. The last time he hit me, I was out of school for four days because of how bad it was. Days later, Laurel House came to my school to present on Healthy Relationships. I went up to the advocate and said, “I need help.” She got me help and connected me with a counselor and the DART team. The DART team held my hand through the court process. After I left, I was harassed and stalked, and my life was threatened. I was terrified going through the court system, but I remember Laurel House would hold my hand through it and made sure I had the support I needed. During my junior and senior years, I went to Laurel House after school to get individual and group counseling. I always knew I had someone in my corner. I couldn’t be more grateful to Laurel House for them helping me. I’m hopeful I can overcome the difficulties I’m experiencing. I used the gift cards towards rent which was a huge blessing, and the household donations you gave me are going a long way (so nice to have toilet paper!). Words can’t begin to properly thank the angel team at Laurel House and everyone you have connected me with. I am so grateful for the continued support and likely would not have had the chance to rebuild and become whole without it.

You guys are and continue to be amazing. Thank you for going above and beyond for me. I continue to struggle, but knowing I’m not alone makes all the difference.
