WHAT IS GIVING TUESDAY?
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. A simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good.Someone you know, or even you, have or will be affected by domestic violence. Research shows that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic violence in her lifetime and last year in Harris County ALONE, 37 people were killed by their Intimate Partner and we have already surpassed that total this year. So many are in fear of reporting so they suffer in silence. Even those that reach out for help are having a hard time receiving services because our system is stretched so thin. As you give thanks this holiday season, please consider giving back by helping HCDVCC ensure that victims of domestic violence have access to safety and justice. Add your voice to others who stand in solidarity with survivors and against domestic violence. We are so proud of the work we do at HCDVCC, and the strength of the survivors we serve each and every day. Your donation today — no matter the size — will ensure that when a survivor reaches out for help, they will be met with compassion, respect and a way for us to say YES! Over the last few months, the news has been inundated with stories of families being ripped apart due to domestic violence. Gathering the courage to tell your story and to seek help is a tremendous step and HCDVCC wants to say WE CAN when asked by a survivor- “Who can help me?” With your donation, we can increase our services to survivors and help them lead healthier and happier lives for themselves and their children. So please support us so we say “We Can Help You!”
