Help Abused Women and Children

April 24, 2008 by Melissa 

Today, on DailyKos, one of their readers posted info about the walk she is doing on the 27th.

Here is a tidbit:

Abuse is not something that happens to one kind of person. It happens to women of all ages and socioeconomic groups. It could be your neighbor. it could be your sister. It could be YOU.

In order to break the cycle of violence, this issue must come out of the closet, and women need to be able get help. But if funding dries up, and shelters close, that help won’t be there.

So this is today’s shameless plea for money. It doesn’t have to be a lot. $5, $10, anything. If you can donate, go HERE. It’s a link to the donations page (something like Chipin). My friend who is the team leader is named Nancy. I’m Robin (a “training buddy”).

They aren’t asking for much, just a little. They have already reached their goal, but like she says, we all know someone, and I have. Family members have been in this situation and felt they had nowhere to go. Even if you only have a buck, it will help:)
