Four siblings embark on a journey of healing in our FDV shelter. Your support provides safety, warmth and hope!

Within the confines of these shelters, these four children find themselves thrust into a world of chaos and instability. They witness the breakdown of familial bonds, the shattering of trust, and the relentless cycle of abuse. For them, home is no longer a sanctuary but a battleground where their sense of security is constantly under siege.

The impact of FDV on children is profound and far-reaching. Beyond the visible bruises and scars lie wounds that may never fully heal – emotional scars that haunt their every step and shape their perception of self and others. The trauma of witnessing violence can lead to a myriad of behavioral, emotional, and psychological challenges, from anxiety and depression to aggression and self-harm. These children carry the weight of their experiences like burdens too heavy for their tender shoulders to bear.
