Why should you give to DVRC?

"I am not the same person I was 7 years ago, and I certainly am no victim.  I have a voice, and a community that loves and support me to use it."

 "I started volunteering on the help line because I don't want any domestic violence victim to feel stuck and alone in their current situation.  I also don't want any children to have to witness domestic violence or experience it first hand.  As a child, I witnessed domestic violence in my home.  I saw how members of my family internalized the abuse and lacked the resources, support, and voice to leave.  If I am able to help someone take the steps toward freedom from abuse, then there is one less victim and hopefully one less perpetrator."  -EB, Helpline Volunteer
