January is all about fresh starts.
Today is the first Friday in the first week of a brand new year.
That’s why I’m asking you to give the women and children we serve a fresh start this year. They deserve a life free of violence. A year free of abuse. A year that holds new promise.

All over Waterloo Region, there are women and children looking for a fresh start right now. They need a safe place to go to in order to escape an abusive partner. They need someone to give them back their hope, confidence, dignity and self respect.
You are that person.
