Read how Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) supports domestic violence shelters where survivors like Olympia find safety.<\/a><\/p>\n

*Olympia endured physical and verbal assaults from her partner. Her children, especially her eldest son who was now old enough to understand what was happening, witnessed the abuse. It had gone on for years and she was terrified. Olympia called our Domestic Violence Hotline<\/a>\u00a0and told one of our Advocates that she could not go on living like this.<\/p>\n

\"domestic<\/a>A Hotline Advocate responds to a call on our domestic violence hotline, available 24\/7.<\/em><\/p>\n

She wanted to find a safe place in one of our shelters. Her call was one of the 98, 104 calls answered by our Hotlines in 2016. The\u00a0Advocate was able to find an opening for her and her family to heal at Lotus House; one of our eight Domestic Violence Shelters. For Olympia, escaping to shelter was not only important to her future, but her children\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Finding Critical Relief at Lotus House<\/h1>\n

\u201cAfter living through domestic violence, coming to shelter felt like entering open arms,<\/em>\u201d Olympia says. Olympia was assigned a case manager to support her through the healing process. She told the case manager that although she was relieved to find safety for her and her family, she had difficulty opening up about the abuse because \u201ctalking about<\/em> it didn\u2019t make the abuse go away.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The supportive environment at Lotus House encouraged Olympia to feel safe and eventually she was able to start talking about her situation. She felt this was an instrumental element to her healing. As she puts it, \u201cI am most appreciative of the warm, welcoming staff that has always been willing to help me and my children get back on our feet.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Once Olympia and her sons started to work with a therapist and began to heal emotionally, becoming financially stable was her next step on the path to move forward. Our on-site vocational specialist provided guidance for her to decide what the next steps in her career should be. She was able to find a job working with developmentally delayed persons, a new career move for her in an area that had always interested her.<\/p>\n

Today, Olympia and her children are looking forward to moving into permanent housing. She is earning an income on her own and has come a long way in a short time. \u201cThanks to Safe<\/em> Horizon<\/em>, my children and I were able to save the little bit of pride that we have left. The shelter respectfully took care of us, which helped me to take care of them.<\/em>\u201d Olympia is one of 715 clients, and her children are among the 1, 060 children, who were able to find safety at one of our eight domestic violence shelters in 2016.<\/p>\n

Help shelter residents like Olympia move from crisis to confidence by supporting our work. You can change a life today.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It spans age, sexual orientation, religion and gender, and affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels. Safe Horizon launched the #PutTheNailinIt campaign to spark a conversation around domestic violence by asking supporters to take the vow to end domestic violence in three simple steps:\r\n1) Donate<\/strong> to help end domestic violence\r\n2) Paint<\/strong> your left ring fingernail purple, the color of the anti-domestic violence movement\r\n3) Share<\/strong> a photo of your painted fingernail on social media with the hashtag #PutTheNailinIt\r\n\r\nWhy is this such an important issue?<\/strong>\r\n\r\n60 percent of Americans say they know a victim of sexual assault or domestic violence and 57 percent have never actually discussed either issue with their friends (AVON, 2013). 73 percent of U.S. parents say they never had a conversation about domestic violence or sexual assault with their children (AVON, 2013).\r\n\r\nPeople from all around the world have already participated in this campaign by donating and painting their fingernail purple.\u00a0 Celebrities including Kyra Sedgwick, Dave Navarro, Tamron Hall and Alan Cumming have lent their voice.\u00a0 This campaign is focused on moving away from the bruised face and black eye, and towards the safety, hope and confidence victims can achieve when domestic violence can be talked about more openly.\r\n\r\nWill you join the campaign?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nVisit www.PutTheNailinIt.org<\/a> to help end
