“The advocates were exceptionally awesome and helpful. Being in shelter gave me the opportunity to know what safety is, how to value myself, and how to find resources for my emotional and physical health. I feel empowered in my life for the first time. I am so very grateful for your love and care…you helped save my life! I will be forever grateful to Stepping Stones. Thank you so much.”
– Marie, former shelter resident

It’s not uncommon at Stepping Stones to hear people express their gratitude for the chance to live some where safe, get support from our advocates, and find freedom from abuse.

But, it can be difficult to find gratitude when walking through life’s challenges. Each day, we get to celebrate the little and big wins as they accomplish their goals and continue to work hard. With those celebrations comes the gratitude that they CAN. They are capable and able to create the life they want that is free from violence, chaos, and fear.

If you or someone else needs support because of domestic violence or other forms of abuse, please call our 24/7/365 Helpline and speak with our advocates – 928-445-4673.
