Shelter Founder Depends On Miracles To Continue Plight To Help Others
trengthen Our Sisters shelter is seeking financial support to help pay off its mortgage to continue its mission of providing help to those struggling from domestic violence, poverty and abuse. “As the founder of the first
domestic violence shelter in the nation, in the home that I shared with my three children in 1970, I have come to believe that there are very few people that have not been touched by the ravages of domestic violence, abuse, or molestation,

Many of the supporters know firsthand that SOS has helped those that nobody else would assist. It is currently operating with a volunteer staff and little or no government funding. “An anonymous donor was so impressed with the selfless
dedication of our staff - that a $350k donation was made to help our plight,” she says. “However, in order to pay off our mortgage, allowing us free reign to continue with our mission, the donor has requested a match of $175k. In honor of Valentines Day, we are asking that you make a tax deductible donation to Strengthen Our Sisters in the name of a loved one. SOS will send you a certificate acknowledging your contribution.” Ramos says, “With your help, I believe, we can make miracles. I don’t believe in miracles, I depend on them.” Visit www.sosdv.org, or contact Ramos at 973-831-0898 or Cheryl at 973-728-0059.
