Keep A Roof Over Their Heads Campaign Update
Through the generous support of community friends & partners we are over two thirds of the way to offset the costs of our flat roof replacement of $28,000, and now need to raise $10,000 to complete the offset of the costs. We are asking for your assistance to help us reach our goal so we can continue to safely shelter the women and children in our community who are experiencing abuse, violence, or human trafficking.
