Safe at Home and New Beginnings

Your support provided life-saving services to over 2,500 children and adults since social distancing began. Faith is is just one of the families for which you provided a safe home and new beginning.

Faith began noticing her partners addiction and behavior change. He started being verbally abusive which later led to physical altercations. Faith stayed in the relationship hoping that she could save her partner from his addiction and provide her daughter a family. As the abuse escalated, she realized that she didn’t have the power to save him. She made the difficult decision to leave for the safety of her daughter and herself. With nowhere to turn, Faith found Human Options emergency shelter. Determined to provide a better life for her daughter, Faith took advantage of all the services Human Options had to offer. Within weeks, she was able to secure employment and shortly after secured an affordable housing unit. Faith continues to work with her Human Options counselor to regain her self-esteem. Committed to using her experience to help others, Faith began the certification process in the field of substance abuse. She is forever grateful to be safe at home and for new beginnings for her daughter and herself.

Our Work Doesn't Stop Here

Despite the restrictions lifting, we know our work is not done. Domestic Violence Agencies predict that the snowball effect of survivors in need of services after COVID-19 re-openings will continue to increase for months. We are truly grateful for our Human Options Heroes for making it possible for us to meet the increasing need. We remain dedicated to serve families during this challenging time!
