New Jersey Coalition for Battered Women
When was the last time you needed to have an escape plan? Did you ever fear for your life-or the safety of your children?
The statistics on domestic violence are alarming. Domestic violence often grows more severe and frequent over time. Emotional threats and deeply humiliating conversation turns to physical attacks; shouting becomes shoving; black and blue marks become broken bones. And the story goes on without any hope of a happy ending.
It is a scene that is just as common in a million dollar mansion as it is likely to occur in a run down one room apartment.
How can you reach out and help a battered woman? How can you make the bruises-the ones that we see and the ones that are invisible-go away?
To lend your support to those who are frightened, battered and beaten:
-Please donate $50 for a cell phone. It can save a life.
-Please donate $100 for a confidential conversation with an attorney. Good advice may help her get the courage to leave.
-Please donate $150 to buy clothes for a battered woman and her family. She has run away and left everything behind while they escaped with just the shirts on their backs.
-Please donate $200 for filling monthly prescriptions and regular doctor visits. With no money and no home, the last thing she is worried about is herself.
