Fantastic women lead organization, doing incredible work. Welcoming all women to experience a healthy, happy, whole approach to living.
I love being a volunteer (referred to as Community Leader) with For Her. For Her is aligned with my values and I am moved by its mission. I'm thankful to be affiliated with such an amazing organization.
This is such a unique organization. I don't know of another one like it, even though there is such a need. Women today are exploited in many ways - some aren't even recognized. For example, prostitution is legal in very few places on the planet, and there's a reason for that. So society seems to (mostly) agree that women should not be treated as things. Yet in the United States we allow strip clubs everywhere, and yes, even legalize prostitution (e.g., in Nevada). For Her provides a way to get women out of these kinds of degrading situations, with resources and support to restore their innate dignity, to increase their self-esteem, and pride. Surely this is extremely important to women, and to society as a whole. Every person alive has a mother that loved them enough to give them a place in this world. We owe it to all women to recognize their place in society, and the special way in which only they can contribute. Put simply, women matter, and For Her promotes this important message, to society as a whole, and to those that matter most - our women.
While I am not physically involved with For Her, my husband and I believe strongly in the mission of this organization. The staff and volunteers give their time and love to serve women in whatever way needed to support, encourage, and set them on a brighter future path. I have been amazed at the way the organization has grown and furthered its presence over just the last year. This is definitely a worthy cause to invest in!
For Her has been a light of hope in a dark season. They have helped me through so many hurdles and truly care about providing a safe space for women, connecting women to community, and empowering women to live authentic and full lives. I'm grateful for all the different opportunities they provide and the hope and healing that I have found here.
I have been receiving support and guidance from FOR HER since 2019. Life has been very challenging with the deaths of both of my parents and my husband, my late stage cancer diagnosis, and overcoming homelessness. The staff and volunteers at FOR HER have helped me when I felt hopeless and loved me when I felt worthless. I really appreciate this non profit. If you meet the criteria, then you understand it’s difficult to get away from the life. These women are trustworthy and they will help.
A bright spot of moving to San Antonio has been getting to know the women behind For Her
April was Sexual Assault Awareness month, and May is Mental Health Awareness Month. I've seen the women at For Her fight for the safety, stability and support for the women in San Antonio in a number of unimaginable ways.
They host support groups (including one in Spanish) and dinners.
They are pillars of comfort and strength during reporting, SANE exams, and recovery.
They stay connected to resources all over the city that provide assistance with housing, trauma informed mental health providers, and legal assistance.
If you're looking for support, or looking to partner with an organization doing really hard work, I can't recommend them enough
For Her is a unique non profit focused on empowering women. They have a variety of gatherings that allow for a safe and inclusive environment. I have recently attended a self-care workshop and a community dinner. Both events were organized and focused on loving women, bettering ourselves, and connecting with community. I recommend this organization for any women looking to connect and grow in a safe space.
I have been a community leader for almost a year and just love For Her’s mission. For example, the picture is from a session where marginalized women leaving abused relationships reflected on what a safe relationship looked like. The exercise allowed the women to self-reflect AND support each other. It is just one example of how members are empowered to change their life trajectory through inclusive processes. The For Her full-time staff do a fantastic job of coordinating programs and events, and my fellow community leaders are amazing women with BIG hearts!
ForHer is a wonderful organization committed to helping women and creating a loving, supportive community. I’m fairly new to the San Antonio area and began coming to ForHer to meet with other women and have a shared space to help each other heal trauma, process the obstacles and challenges in our lives and move forward in a positive manner. Everyone has been so welcoming and kind, I admire these women and community for being so brave in coming forward with their life stories and wanting to create positive change. I am so grateful for the resources they provide and the ongoing support that they have given me and I look forward to being able to give that back. Thank you Taryn for being so amazing and positive. Wish this organization all the best.
