Get cash directly to survivors of intimate partner violence
we're 60% of the way there
Thank you all so much for contributing and collectively raising over $40,000 to support survivors in meeting their basic needs through FreeFrom's safety fund. The demand for these funds is so high and we need your help raising the rest. Please contribute, share on social or forward this email to help FreeFrom meet this goal and distribute funds. Please note, FreeFrom does not keep any of the money.
As the NY Times reported last week, domestic violence incidents are skyrocketing as a result of COVID-19. Survivors are sharing that, to stay safe in this crisis, they need help meeting their basic needs - rent, food, medicines - so that they don't have to go back to a violent situation. Folks will be able to use these emergency cash grants to ensure they can continue to stay safe. In addition, FreeFrom will support these individuals with optional financial coaching and peer support.
FreeFrom believes in the creativity, resourcefulness and power that each survivor has to achieve financial independence, and to build communities that support individual, intergenerational and collective healing. Rapid response in times of crisis is one important and urgent way to ensure survivors can heal and thrive long-term.
Gifted by FreeFrom has hand sanitizers. Stock up while supporting survivor entrepreneurs. For every bottle purchased, they donate one to their shelter partners to keep their staff and clients safe and healthy.
