Next Door Solutions is an incredible organization providing critical services to families in crisis. Next Door getting these people into safe and stable situations is lifechanging. Having worked with Next Door for the past two years, I can personally attest to the expert leadership of their executive team, and to the level of care and commitment that the staff provides to their clients. It is amazing what this team is able to accomplish on such a tight annual budget. The ultimate proof is in the countless success stories told by the women and children who have been helped by Next Door.
The strength of Next Door Solutions lies in the employees. They are listeners, advocates and organizers for persons who are encountering violence in a relationship. There are no simple answers to provide. Next Door employees have the experience and the desire to help the someones who show up on a phone call in for help or a drop in with the kids to try to get an answer. The answer, of course, has to come from the person looking for help - who may decide to leave for good and get help in the leaving or stay and bring about change using resources and tools provided by Next Door advocates.
I was in a violent relationship in the 1960's in Arizona and there was no place to go or anyone to help. Fortunately after seven years my son and I got out. When I found out about Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence I vowed to do everything that I could to help them. This organization is amazing in all that they do and they can't make it any easier to get help. I only wish that there had been a place like this for my son and me. Next Door Solutions you rock!
Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence saved my life and the lives of my 2 daughters. When my ex-husband became increasingly abusive and threatened to kill us all, a Next Door Solutions advocate helped me create a safety plan. When his violence escalated, they helped me get a restraining order. I attended a Next Door Solutions women's support group for 3 years, to recover and learn how to rebuild our lives and form healthy relationships. All of these services were free and everyone who helped us was caring and supportive. Because of Next Door Solutions, all 3 of us are alive today and pursuing our dreams.

We all know someone, a co-worker, a family member, a neighbor, who is experiencing domestic violence at this time. Next Door gives us a place to ask questions, refer someone for a safe haven, or to find a resource for prevention. NEXT DOOR Solutions for Domestic Violence is such a critical part of our community and we recognize them especially as we move into October, Domestic Violence Awareness month. Without Next Door, many affected by Domestic Violence would have absolutely no where to turn. Please support Next Door in their mission to end Domestic Violence - through your financial support or volunteering of your time. You may also donate items for the Holiday Boutique where hundreds of children and their moms have an opportunity, sometimes the only one they will have at the season, to give a gift to one another - a symbol of their love and commitment through these tough times.
I have been involved with Next Door solutions for over one year as a volunteer. I have had the pleasure of working with their staff on the Kid's Club program and newsletter. Kid's Club provides free child care for clients while they attend support groups at Next Door. Kid's club provides a safe, fun and educational environment for children and covers new topics each month. Topics like feelings, friendship, communication, self-esteem and many others are covered. I have seen first hand what a positive influence that Next Door solutions has on their clients, clients children and the community.
Next Door Solutions is a very good orginization in the community, it not only deals with domestic violence it works with other agencys and professional to understand the behavior before it can get started. This orginization has help everyone that come through there doors and has a great continues relationship with the clients after they have left the program. I say job well done and keep up the great work.
Next Door, started in 1974, is the oldest and most comprehensive agency in Santa Clara County dedicated to helping domestic violence victims. Its emergency shelter was the first bilingual shelter in the country. I became involved as a board member 4+ years ago and have been impressed every day since. Programs for kids and teens are outstanding. Multi-lingual victims approaching the court system couldn't get a better advocate and guide.
Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence is an impressive organization. They are changing the way the general population views Domestic Violence. Not only are they helping victims in the moment, but they are making great strides in educating the public about D.V., which will go a long way towards ending the cycle for all time.
I've been involved with many non-profits through the years. What strikes me most about Next Door is the organization's devotion to their cause - to end domestic violence in the moment and for all time. Having served as a board member for five years, I'm continally amazed at the dedication and selflessness that all members (employees and volunteers) of NextDoor give to the victims of domestic violence. Leading and working for a non-profit presents constant challenges. This organization consistently rises to the challenge to best serve the community. I would encourage any one interested in this cause to learn more about NextDoor. I'm sure glad I did. Chris
When I was five years old my mom had an ex- boyfriend that decided if he couldn't have her know one could. He broke into our house in the middle of the night and proceeded to beat her to death. He ended up braking her nose, eardrum, and knocked out all most all her teeth. Then called back and she answered the phone and said he was coming back to finish the job. He got one year sentence. I wanted to give to this cause and found this group called Next Door Solutions on the internet and have been a donor for several years now. The group of people that work there are outstanding. I am so proud to be a small part of what it is they are doing to help these woman and children.
