For Mother’s Day, Give Mom a Gift That Protects a Mother From Violence

Posted May 4, 2010

As Mother’s Day approaches, I want to take a moment and recognize the women and girls we have been privileged to serve, many of whom are mothers moved to stand up against violence they have endured to protect their children.

I am daily moved by the strength and the sacrifices that our clients make for their children. Their courage and perseverance gives us hope and inspiration to fight for justice. Sadly, not all mothers fleeing violence are as fortunate as the ones who have made it to the US, or as those whom we’ve been honored to help protect. We need your help to achieve justice for so many others who call us for help.

This Mother’s Day, give mom a gift that protects an immigrant woman or girl from violence. Share “Ebuni’s” story of fleeing Guinea because she could not let her daughters endure the same suffering she did. Make a unique and life-changing gift in honor of women and girls like Ebuni and we will send an e-card to that special mom telling her about your thoughtful gift.

Thank you for your love and support,
