This December, we are celebrating the hard work that families have done to speak up and break the silence about the abuse in their lives. It is a daily commitment to Stepping Stones’ unique services that help families choose to take steps forward and live free from all forms of abuse.
Check out a few reflections from families who have received services during the two years. We are so proud of their bravery and courage to change their lives!
I have had the best experience ever in the short time I have been here. I was so scared, full of doubt, and self pity. I was alone. But now, I have gained some tools to help me take steps in a better direction. And I’m going to therapy which I can already see is making a difference. – H, 2020
I thought I had the domestic violence happening in my life all figured out, but boy, did I have a lot to learn. I’m so glad I called, it changed my life completely. I felt the moment I called I was in good care. Now, I have gainful employment and I feel safe and independent for the first time. – A, 2019
I came here so frightened, scared, abused was at the point of insanity. I now have strength, hope, faith, & sanity back in my life. Thanks to the Shelter & Stepping Stones advocates, I have restored my sanity and a brand new start. – T, 2020
In order to help keep families safe and physically healthy during 2020, families living in our shelter celebrated the holidays in small groups rather than one big celebration. Above is one family celebrating safely in one of our transitional housing units!
