PUTTING AWARENESS TO ACTION

Here's how you can start.

Survivors' Immediate Needs $730

YOU can make an impact. 

Behind the media sound bites and statistics are real people, probably someone you know and just don’t know it.

Donate For Immediate Help

Your card donation will be gifted to those that cannot afford to pay the annual fee and give them the chance to safely and securely #Record2Remember so they will finally be #HeardAndBelieved. $10 (or more) will be donated directly to the VictimsVoice Halo Fund, allowing them to secure a chance at a life free from all forms of abuse.
