Because of you, survivors can move from fear to freedom.
When Ana and her daughter fled to CAWC, she described her life in one word: uncertain. Everything felt unpredictable, always waiting for the next attack.
At CAWC’s Greenhouse Shelter, Ana obtained an Order of Protection and reclaimed her legal power over her own life. With counseling, she began healing from trauma that had convinced her she was worthless. With parenting support, her daughter, who had learned to be silent and invisible, found her voice again.
That’s exactly what your support makes possible for survivors. Thank you for your gift!
