 5.00$ :  Offer a coffee to a woman arriving at the Shelter 

Considering that the Shelter welcomes an average of 60 women yearly, with or without children, the bedrooms need frequent maintenance.   Your donation will help us to redecorate rooms that haven’t been touched in years, to make them clean and welcoming for the women and children living there.

“At home, my husband forbade me from even sleeping in a bed.  At the Shelter, I had a place just for me.”
