"I am a domestic violence survivor. At the domestic violence support groups I learned skills that have helped me to cope, heal, grow, and develop grit and resilience. I have learned from my mistakes and recognized my value and the capacity I have to achieve my goals and dreams. I am studying, volunteering and working everyday for a better future for me and my girls."

“He wasn’t violent at the beginning...he was the sweetest person. We had a child together and at that time things got so bad I wanted to leave, so he kept me locked in our room. He would come and throw things at us. I would protect my baby with my body. I finally escaped. Mrs. Maria helped me to get an order of protection, medical help, a car and even a job."
