Serenity Home for Domestic Violence Victims

Posted by Unknown at 4:43 PM
I am collecting funds to purchase a Home for domestic violence victims. A real Home, in which women can have the right opportunities and environment, to get their life back on track, begin to grow, and most importantly "stay alive" and be happy, instead of returning to their abusers. Please, help and share. Kiss


No, I am not a big company, or a big, well known charity, however, I am a woman, who has been there and I truly know, how these women "Need" to be treated and what they really need, to follow through and continue on their journey.


Shelters do not offer child care, when these women are out there, struggling to find a job, going to interviews. Shelters often call Child Services if a woman is not there when her children return from school. Shelters do not offer help in getting a job, women are usually on their own trying to accomplish anything that would improve their life. These women need help, love, compassion, guidance, emotional support and encouragement. Shelters do not provide any of the things these families need to become independent. Shelters are usually run by workers, who are very condescending and have never been through anything like it. Women, who don't understand -should not be helping these victims, just like you shouldn't take advice about marriage from someone, who has never been married, or about children, from a person, who had never had a child. They simply do not know the Reality of it. Yes, they have book knowledge, but life is Not a book.

I truly believe I am fully qualified for this, as a woman who had gone through the pain, the growing, the forgiving and moving on, and also as a professional, caring therapist. Please help me reach my goal and make it a reality for women, who thanks to my determination, experience, compassion and love, will have a chance at a better, safer life from then on :)

"Domestic Violence" is Real and it can happen to anyone.
Abuse happens in families of all backgrounds and social status.
I want to create a different environment for these families. This will be a Real Home and they will be treated like real family.

They will learn to be self sufficient,

express themselves artistically, sew,

take care of their body with healthy eating habits, 
to cook and bake,

grow their own food, do yoga,

expand their knowledge in whatever they wish,

get an education to improve their life,

regain their self confidence and
learn how to take care of themselves & their children again.

They will be helped through private, not group sessions, to cope with and get past their experiences and then to thrive in the life ahead.

We will teach them, that they are worthy of being treated kindly and that love does not have to hurt. Help me bring this goal to reality.

Your further support will allow "Serenity" to provide transportation for the victims from their abusive environment, as well as a "start out fund" and many necessary tools, once those families have been re-established and gone through proper therapy, to transition from our home, to their own, independent living. We intend to be there for them every step of the way and also provide further support through therapy, if they so wish after they are on their own.

P.S. Yes, I do realize there are men, who are "nice guys" also being abused by their women. With time, as we grow, I will also provide a section for them as well as young girls who are homeless and in trouble. I am just starting small. A bigger home would require more money :/


P.P.S. We've only had a couple contributors for the campaign today - we had a TRULY OUTRAGEOUS first few days, but in order to reach the goal we will need about $250 per day until the campaign ends in April! If we can get only 3000 people to see this today (EASY on Facebook) and only 10% donates just a COUPLE of DOLLARS each, this will be easily achieved. PLEASE keep contributing and sharing!!
