Here's the amazing work that the 3 shelter staff have done only this year. All in all, they provided 614 individuals with education and services.
Here's what they did:
answered 397 crisis calls;
provided emergency shelter to 188 women and 132 children;
helped 23 women obtain restraining orders, 10 get divorces, and 16 get medical assistance;
provided court advocacy support for 28 women; and
conducted community education programs for 360 women.
They must be exhausted!
They did all of that while coping with the vandalism and theft that caused them to lose their building, the supplies for women and children in need of emergency shelter, as well as their t.v. and computers.
They are also working on more general issues, such as improving the way the police respond to and report on sexual assaults, and developing education programs for schools.
To continue to do all of this, and more, the Pretty Bird Woman House really needs a house!
