We provided 121 survivors, 2645 nights of safety at our emergency shelter; 5 families housing stability through financial assistance; and 149 survivors counseling. We maintained our footprint in six counties and received in kind donations from over 141 community members or partners. The work we are doing today is only possible because of your support.
