\"Tamron<\/figure>\n\n

Tamron Hall and her family, including her sister\u2019s two sons Damion and Leroy, were devastated by domestic violence when her sister Renate was killed and they were left with guilt and questions about what they should have done. Tamron recognized the importance of raising awareness for families who have loved ones experiencing abuse, and that is why she has created “The Tamron \u2665 Renate Fund” to support Safe Horizon in helping victims and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renate, a mother of two, was murdered in 2004 after years of relationships with abusive men. \u201cMy sister\u2019s death was ruled a homicide, \u201d Hall said. \u201cBlunt force trauma to the back of the head. A few months prior to her death I witnessed a violent confrontation where my sister was injured, but ultimately, no one was ever charged in her homicide or in her murder and no suspect was named. My sister\u2019s case has led me to focus a lot of my attention on domestic violence. We don\u2019t know what happened in her case, what I do know is that she was found in a swimming pool in the back of her home, face down, and it was ruled a homicide. My journey to speak out on domestic violence was based on conversations that I had with my sister.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join Tamron in supporting Safe Horizon\u2019s domestic violence programs so that women and men like Renate can find support as well as a place for friends and family to find resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many survivors of violence, the journey to safety and healing starts with a simple phone call to Safe Horizon\u2019s Hotline. The Hotline advocates offer personalized, non-judgmental support, can provide information about resources in your community, and connect you to Safe Horizon programs and services. In fact, 80 percent of New York City domestic violence shelter residents are placed through Safe Horizon’s Hotline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re stronger when there are people who are willing to stand with you and hold your hand, whether in court if it comes to that, in finding a new home or a school for your child and, if needed, a temporary place to call home \u2013 a shelter for you and your children. There is somebody willing to stand with you. You just have to open your heart and tell them. I loved my sister Renate and I\u2019ve been given the opportunity to honor her memory while making the difference in the lives of victims of domestic violence. Please join me.\u201d — Tamron Hall<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
