"For years my husband threatened to kill me and to steal my child. The answers I got were long, complicated, expensive, and included a lot of concessions I wasn't willing to make. WEAVE helped me connect to my strength, get safe, and move forward. I can't imagine how much longer that would have taken without them and everyday I look in my little boys eyes and know we are safe."
Help Prevent Crime in Your Community
"When you hear non-profit you expect just that, an organization full of generous people; but the people here go above and beyond the call of duty. These people provide more then just physical shelter and food; they provide what each of us were put on this earth to do and that is to look beyond our own personal gains from a situation and to help others achieve greatness."
