A shelter for abuse survivors in Texas needs help

The heat may be coming back on in Texas, but the rebuilding is just beginning.

Pamela, The heat may be coming back on in Texas, but the rebuilding is just beginning. The SAFE Shelter in Austin is a refuge for for survivors of child abuse, sexual assault and exploitation, and domestic violence. But SAFE, like so many other places in Texas, saw their pipes burst, and are now under a boil water order because the water is unsafe to drink. But even in these circumstances, they are still caring for over 300 adults and children. If you can afford to, can you chip in $5 to help abuse survivors weather the effects of the storm? 100% of your donation will go to SAFE Alliance in Austin, TX. Young moms and their children have had to relocate, packing into spaces that aren't flooded while they try to repair the burst pipes. Their regular food deliveries have stopped. They are running low on baby wipes. And they still have to repair the water damage. Can you support the survivors at SAFE in Austin? They desperately need drinking water and baby wipes. The pandemic left many people trapped with their abusers. The economic instability, unsafe housing, neighborhood violence, and lack of safe and stable child care and social support made a tense and often life-threatening situation worse. With this natural disaster, families who have survived abuse are dealing with a crisis on top of a crisis on top of a crisis. If you can afford to help them, please do so today.
