Contribute to the Safety Fund to get cash directly to survivors of intimate partner violence
As the NY Times reported on Tuesday, 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.
In response, my wife and the incredible team at FreeFrom have launched the Safety Fund.
All the money raised through this campaign will be used to support as many survivors as they can with $250 grants. 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.
