I'm proud to be a Community Champion and Volunteer Rape Crisis Counselor and Advocate for ECLI-VIBES because I believe every survivor deserves somewhere to turn and ECLI VIBES provides that every step of the way. Whether they need the   24/7 Hopeline, compassionate forensic care, court advocacy, counseling, safety planning, or help rebuilding their lives, ECLI-VIBES is there.

I personally have answered dozens of calls to give care and support to victims that were scared, confused, alone, overwhelmed and in need of someone they could trust and rely upon to give them stability to maneuver the daunting process of reporting their abuse.                                                                                                                       This program is in jeopardy. Who will be there for them? Who will give victims the support and strength they will need to manage their trauma in that moment so that they will be able to navigate the process of reporting their abuse and obtain justice? 

Every day, people across Long Island turn to ECLI-VIBES during some of the hardest moments of their lives—as survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and other forms of abuse. 

But government funding is shrinking. The need for help isn't.

That's why I'm raising $5,000 to help ECLI-VIBES continue to be there when someone reaches out.

ECLI-VIBES has served Suffolk County for 50 years, providing counseling, legal advocacy, housing support, and a community food pantry.

The 24-hour Hopeline (631-360-3606) provides immediate crisis support, safety planning, counseling, and referrals, available year-round, day or night.

All services are free, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and survivor-centered, ensuring every individual feels seen, heard, and empowered.

In 2025 alone, ECLI-VIBES:

• Answered 5,661 Hopeline calls
• Served 2,243 victims and survivors
• Provided 232 sexual assault forensic responses
• Reached 35,120 community members through prevention and education

Behind every number is a person who needed someone to respond.
