Michele & Pat Cenci

We are firm believers that love shouldn't hurt and we are fortunate to be in a loving, healthy partnership.  Unfortunately, domestic violence effects too many people.  In fact, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men will experience domestic violence sometime in their lifetime!  And for victims, asking for help can be one of the most difficult steps to take. Fear, uncertainty, even shame can be overwhelming. But when victims do reach out for help, they have decided to Choose Hope!

We decided to stand with victims of domestic violence - and their children by serving as a Choose Hope Champion. It’s one way simple way we can can support LSS CHOICES life-saving services.  The funds we raise will be used to provide victims a safe place to stay and the care and support they need to create a safer future, free from violence.

Will you please join us?  You can Choose Hope by making a gift today to support LSS CHOICES and those they serve. Together, we can help break the cycle of domestic violence!

At LSS CHOICES, we rely on the generosity, kindness and compassion of donors to make our services possible. Throughout October, National Domestic Violence Awareness month, we are excited to present Choose Hope, a fundraising and awareness campaign to support LSS CHOICES and the community we serve.
