Review for Safe Places Little Rock, Little Rock, AR, USA
I was a victim of domestic voilence back in 2007. I tried to get assistants through a local shelter because I couldn't go back to my apartment with my 3 kids. The shelter turned me away saying that I would need to feed and bathe my children before coming there. At this point we were pretty much homeless. I had enough money for a hotel room for the night. My last call was to Safe Places. Angela called me right back. I told her my story. For a week I was in a hotel. She got the shelter that turned me away to pay for my new apartment for 3 months until I was relocated to Texas. She also made sure that we had plenty of food, and clothes. She made sure that my children were taken care of for Christmas that year also. I went to classes at Safe Places, and learned alot about myself, and how to know if a person is an abuser or not. It is funny because now I can be just in Wal-Mart, and can see a couple. I want to grab her so bad when I can tell, and tell her that she can get out of it. The signs are so obivious now with what Angela and Safe Places has taught me. I still to this day keep up with them. They also went to all my court dates with me, and held my hand through it all. They are my angels.
