When a woman walks through our doors, she comes bearing a story of survival, strength, and quiet courage. Camie, a 39-year-old single mother and survivor of domestic abuse, found herself at a crossroads. She signed up for Leap to Confidence, unsure of what came next, but she was determined to find out. The program gave Camie purpose and space to reflect, to dig deep, and to begin again.

Camie shares, “This program is like a breath of fresh air when you didn’t know you needed it. It’s like oxygen when you didn’t know you were short of breath. I’m getting to know myself, accepting what I’ve been through. I know I’m gonna be okay. I can be a confident woman who’s gonna be successful. Every week I feel a little bit stronger.”

Many of the women we serve are survivors of domestic abuse. So, in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a handful of our generous donors have established a matching empowerment fund of $50,000 to raise money to EMPOWER 100 WOMEN on the next part of their healing journey.

Together, we're not just raising awareness. We're rebuilding a woman's belief in herself. Thank you for standing with us, walking beside survivors, and inspiring them to chase after their greatest potential. To empower women like Camie, click here: givebutter.com/100women
