SPEND FOUR DOLLARS AND SAVE A LIFE

Recently, I put my book on Amazon Kindle ebook at a very low price. . .$3.99!  As most of you know, I am donating 50% of all proceeds to the Chrysalis Domestic Violence Shelter in Phoenix.  But more important than that, we can loan ebook equipment to those being abused to read the book and understand what they are living and why. 

Since this book came out, I have talked with literally hundreds of women (men are more reticent to connect) who want so much to live in a safe place, free of fear, to give their children a home full of love instead of hate. They often say, "I loved him so much.  What did I do to deserve this?"

We know the answer.  Nothing.  But THEY need to understand what they are living and why, to know that someone cares and that they have the ability deep within to get beyond the perpetual clouds of abuse and experience the rainbows of peace.

Will you help them?  We can do this across the country.  For $3.99 you could change someones life forever. Take the ebook to your local shelter and you will make a difference.

Is it worth it?  YOU BET IT IS!!!  Let's join together as a country and help  END DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

HELPING ABUSED WOMEN GET BACK ON THEIR FEET

URGENT!  WE NEED EVERYONE’S HELP TO END DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

According to the American Institute on Domestic Violence, 5.3 women are victims of abuse and 1,232 American women are killed!!!
Take a moment and think: What would it be like to flee for your life with nothing? 
Most abused women have to get out in a hurry, leaving everything but the clothes they are wearing to save their lives, and many times, their children as well.  So when they enter the safe haven of a shelter, they have their lives but they don’t have so much as a toothbrush!
I’m asking all women and men to go through their clothes, children’s toys, and collect those items they do not need nor want.
To name a few might help:
1.  Women’s and men’s clothing including underwear.  Obviously, you want all clothing to be freshly laundered with no holes, stains, etc.
2.  Children’s clothing, toys, crayons, coloring books etc.
3.   Toiletries (unopened) such as soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, feminine      products (tampons, pads, etc.), soap, mouthwash, brushes, combs, curling irons.  You can find most of these items at a dollar store.
4.   On Tuesday, check out the various shelters in your area, or if you have one.  You will be directed by dedicated people.
