I learned how to be strong and face what ever comes at me. I never realized how easy it was with help to get out on my own and not have to be with someone that abused me.

Thank you! He had my grave ready. If that church hadn’t had your hotline number, I would be dead by now.

When I first heard the words “Domestic Violence Shelter” I was terrified. A “shelter” had to be even worse than the abuse my children and I were dealing with at home. I decided to call Hope Cottage and my entire life changed. Everybody treated me like family. They all worked together to save the lives of both me and my children, and I will be forever grateful.

The night [the advocate] answered my call changed my life.
