October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

As a proud member of the Board of Directors at SafeNest, Nevada’s most comprehensive nonprofit dedicated to ending the epidemic of domestic violence, I’d like to share an example of the work we do and why this organization means so much to me. It’s a story about courage, survival, and hope.

Kathy's Story

Kathy and her five children were meticulously manipulated by her husband. In addition to repeatedly moving her family to avoid detection of abuse, she and her children suffered emotional and physical abuse daily for the duration of her eight-year marriage.

When she arrived at shelter, Kathy was guarded and careful about what she shared with staff and other residents. She was afraid to take the bus, thinking her husband would find her and force her back into a life of abuse. SafeNest advocates worked with Kathy daily. She received consistent, compassionate advocacy and counseling, along with court support, case management and other wraparound services to address physical, emotional, and mental trauma. After 166 days at shelter, Kathy was ready for the SafeNest transitional housing program and moved into her own apartment. Kathy is now living on her own, providing for her children and working as a nurse in Clark County.

Support SafeNest

Please join me this October by “Investing in the NEST” in support of thousands of survivors like Kathy who turn daily to SafeNest for help, support, safety, and hope for a brighter future. Your investment will provide emergency shelter and housing for individuals and families and ensure there’s always a compassionate voice on the hotline. It will help provide counseling, legal services, resources for employment and parenting, wraparound services for kids, and much more, including funding prevention programs designed to stop violence before it starts. 

Invest in the Nest TODAY and join me in saving lives, empowering survivors, and building a safer community for everyone. #YouMatter

Together, we can end the epidemic of domestic violence.

“I hope that everyone gets out of SafeNest what I have gotten. Thank you for looking at my situation in person and not just on paper. Because you did what for me, I had a chance to get my act together and I did not waste the opportunity to turn my life around.”
