Each day, more than 600 families call the National Domestic Violence Hotline to escape from family violence. What will they do if the phone is not answered?
The current economic uncertainties facing our country, along with recent natural disasters, are putting a strain on American families. We know that when families are under duress, incidences of abuse increase and calls to the Hotline rise accordingly.
The same issues impacting families across the country have decreased the size of private gifts from corporations and foundations, forcing us to make budget cuts at precisely the time when our services are most desperately needed.
Increased demand and decreased funding is not a good formula for families in need. Please make a donation today. Every donation to the Hotline helps ensure someone is available to answer the most important call of a victim’s life.
