I am proud to donate both money and my time to this wonderful agency. They help women and children who are foreign-born and have been victims of domestic violence. How difficult it must be to not speak English and be unable to express the abuse you go thru in your homes. This shelter has many bi-lingual and tri-lingual staff that helps women feel comfortable in a shelter setting. It's a warm place with good people trying to help others.
