- Alternatives for Battered Women.
"Twenty five years ago, a group of concerned community members vowed that
no one in danger of being abused in their own homes, by their own loved
ones, should ever be alone and without refuge again.
They started on a shoestring, with little money but much passion and
conviction. Much like the women and children they were dedicated to
serving, they were brave, resilient, and never gave up hope.
Today, we see the results of their vision: a place where anyone who is a
victim of or at risk of domestic violence, can come for help, support and
most importantly, belief-in their story, in their dignity, in their right
to live free from fear and harm."
