Speak Out Against Domestic Violence

Avon #Speaksout against #DomesticViolence!

This is one of the main reasons I love the Avon company so much!  This is a cause very near and dear to my heart. The Avon Foundation for Women created "Speak Out Against Domestic Violence".  In their efforts to help they raise awareness, educate, and improve prevention and direct service programs.  They have provided several millions of dollars to this cause.

My next goal is to do a fundraiser for my local domestic violence prevention program and shelter.  (This will be my first fundraiser,  so stay tuned for details/results.)  There are so many things these shelters need.  When someone is displaced out of their home in an emergency situation they do not have time to grab many belongings.  So until they can retrieve their things (if they even can) they sometimes have nothing. No clothes, toothbrush,  food, deodorant,  money.  In some situations it is all gone.  All of this adds up to A LOT of money. Most programs and shelters rely heavily on donations, fundraisers, and volunteers.

I encourage all of you to #SpeakOut!  Volunteer, donate, do fundraising, educate yourself, and then educate others!
