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.
