Testimonials

“I was a school teacher for years and never imagined that some of my students might be living in a domestic violence shelter. Then one day I drove by and saw the big yellow bus dropping children off at the front door."

“It was hard for me to trust anyone who wanted to get close to me when I first began dating. I was so afraid that I would end up being abused like my mom.”

“The counseling was my one saving grace. It gave me knowledge, safety, and a plan. I received information and resources. Without it I would have been in trouble ... I am so grateful for it being there.”

“I stayed there years ago. I am grateful that the shelter was there at a time when I really needed it. With the help of AWARE, I am in a much better place.”

“The visitation center provided me an opportunity to see my kids on a regular basis while safely rebuilding our relationship.”
