Review for Women Helping Women, Wailuku, HI, USA
Women helping Women on Maui
is a Non profit organization that supports battered and abused women by providing a shelter for women and their children, a TRO office for restraining orders and hotline advocacy to women by phone. I have worked the hotline line for four years and heard the heart wrenching calls for help and taken pictures of women entering the shelter with harrowing bruised and wounds. WHW provides a safe haven for women by help[ing them get county services until they can become fully indepentdent in mind as well as body. Thousands of women each year would be without help and no place to go if WHW were to close its doors. With the County of Maui cutting grants to non-profits we have been forced to find other funds to keep our doors open. We need donors, sponsors, and women to take out a membership to help fund this organization to keep the doors open. Will you step up to the plate with a monetary donation? We are also trying to set up a resale store to help fund our programs, voluntering time, items for sale and montery donations in this area are needed also.

I have seen women rebuild their self esteem and confidence, get a job and housing and go on to be self sustaining women who provide for there children in a happy home enviorment free from terror.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would start a membership drive because this is a non-profit to solicit funding from private sources to help maintain the shelter and other programs, and I would pay a grantwriter to solicit funding from private sources as well.
