It's not a private matter. It's a public disgrace.

I believe in people and sometimes we forget that we are important. We can think sometimes that we deserve abuse. When raised in this environment, this may be all a person knows. Living if fear of abuse is not living. A person should never feel fear within their home either it be from a spouse or a parent/ caregiver. Sometimes people just need to know that they are loved and they can live a happy life. My motivations comes from knowing that maybe I can help just one person and make a difference. The Center of Hope offers many different services such as offering food or clothing, but what I believe is most important is they offer counseling. This can help an individual see they are worthy to be treated with respect and they are loved.
