EVERY DONATION HELPS!
Here are some examples of what a donation can do:
- $50 provides safe, door-to-door transportation to therapy or case management. (Many survivor families don’t own cars, bus runs are not frequent, and some families do not feel safe leaving their own neighborhoods.)
- $70 provides pre-boxed suppers for a therapy group.
- $135 covers an individual therapy session for a survivor of violence, including preparation, note taking, and supervision.
- $500 provides case management services for a family that has experienced bereavement or assault.
- $1,000 provides supermarket gift cards for program participants (many are food-insecure).
- $7,200 covers clinical supervision for our staff, to prevent secondary trauma and burnout.
