Share Your Voice
Domestic violence likely impacts someone you already know. Although shame and stigma often make it difficult to talk about, it’s more important than ever to lift up the voices of survivors, raise awareness of domestic violence, and advocate to inspire change and community action. Start by engaging with us on Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn!
Voices of Strength and Courage
“After years of hidden abuse, I was broken, ashamed, and confused. She had convinced me it was all my fault. YWCA helped me regain my self-worth as a person, and most importantly, as a father. You literally changed my life.”
“It was so hard to imagine that I could have a different life for my children. For the first time, I’m excited and hopeful about our future.”
“I’m grateful for all of the support and guidance you gave me. My children are doing much better now and I know we will keep getting stronger. Thank you for everything.”
“When I was at my lowest point and losing hope, you saved us. You gave me a safe place to stay with my cat and helped me regain my strength. Although I’m still not fully healed, I know that we will be okay.”
“I was feeling so helpless and alone. You were there for me and my children and treated us like family. Because of YWCA, I’m working now and we’re living in our own home. All of this is because of your help and encouragement. I will always be grateful.”
“I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to take care of my son on my own. Thanks to YWCA, we’re in our own home and getting better every day. I never felt alone because I had so much support from all of you. Thank you for helping us get through this.”
