I'm going to keep this short, but I honestly could go on and on about all the positive people, programs, aspects, and the help that I received at Safe Haven. It's also in a kind of secluded part of GR, where not too many people know, which made me feel so much safer than downtown at a shelter. The advocates are just amazing and so helpful. Staff was caring and just wonderful. And the entire building looked brand new and was absolutely gorgeous! I hated to leave when it was my day to go lol... I'd like them all to know what a huge difference they made in my life...thank you and God Bless..
I have been involved with Safe Haven Ministries for about 15 years. I had been a victim of domestic abuse during my first marriage. While I was serving on my first term as a board member, I attended Domestic Violence Orientation (an educational service that Safe Haven offers to community groups free of charge every other month) and learned about what I had been living. I also learned that I was no longer a victim, but a survivor. I regained my self-confidence and self-worth as I continued to serve on the board and eventually was elected board president. God works in mysterious ways and I know that He is working at Safe Haven Ministries. I feel that Safe Haven has helped me to grow from a survivor into a thriver and I am happy to be an Ambassador for this non-profit organization anytime I am needed. If you are afraid of the person you love, please contact Safe Haven for help. LOVE DOESN'T HURT!
Save Haven is a wonderful, supportive organization that helped me through a very challenging and painful time in my life. The support groups provided me with relevant education about emotional and verbal abuse, which helped me to better understand my situation and how it was affecting my self esteem and my children. Emotional abuse is particularly difficult to explain and understand, especially to friends and family, so it was wonderful to find this group of women who understood what I was experiencing and could help me sort it out.
