Linda's Journey

She dropped out of high school at the age of 15 and was brutally battered in several relationships. Her partner's brutal assaults several years ago brought the police, and became a turning point for Linda when officers referred her to Hope's Door.

Safe at the shelter, Linda began to set goals for herself and explore her options with the assistance of a caring, gifted staff and volunteers. " ---continue>

Rhonda's Story

Violence and abuse were not foreign to me. I had seen and felt it many times. I discovered Hope's Door after I had been held against my will one weekend several years ago. I was told I was not leaving the house alive and certainly not with my boys. The weekend to say the least was a nightmare. When I was able to get out of the house, I was so exhausted and mentally drained, I couldn't even speak. My friend called Hope's Door and spoke for me. She was a godsend and I was fortunate to have a friend who could steer me in the right direction. The shelter was full but arrangements were made for me to meet someone from the shelter. I was secretly placed in a hotel where I could be safe until we could find further arrangements. ---continue>
