My Nonprofit Reviews

SHIELD616 is a bright light in our community and everywhere they go. I have seen the impact their work is having and there’s no greater work than theirs! Our first responders need our support and our love - they put it all on the line everyday. SHIELD not only gets it, they live it. Thank you SHIELD616!

As a survivor, you know the shame and secrets that come with a lifetime of scars that no one can see but that you always feel deeply. All I’ve known is blips of good marred by memories of pain, bruises and sadness. No one should ever endure violence - emotional, sexual or physical - but no one likes to talk about those “dirty things” either. Until I met Kristen, I hadn’t openly talked about the details of my abuse publicly. Kristen and BTSDV have helped me find strength and hope among the wreckage. I’m far from whole but I know now that I have sisters for a lifetime, no matter what anyone else sees or thinks. I found a place where I wasn’t pitied and I wasn’t shunned. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
