In 2020, the world stopped.
Intimate partner violence, however, persisted. Fortunately, with the generous support of our donors, SWiC has too!
You see, abuse knows no season. As a result of sheltering in place and quarantining, many victims find themselves even more vulnerable as they are trapped at home with their abuser and also dealing with the added stresses we are all facing during the pandemic.
Abuse has a serious detrimental impact on nearly every aspect of a victim’s and, too often, their children’s lives. Experts also now recognize that living in constant fear – particularly of someone whom you should be able to trust – can adversely affect an individual’s health and well-being over the course of their lifetime if left unresolved. For too many victims, peace may seem unattainable year-round.
Critical, too, is that peace in our community is contingent upon peace within the homes of our families, friends, and neighbors. This winter, we ask you to support survivors’ peace by piece. (Not to worry, you read that correctly.)
Your “piece” comes in the form of a gift that will help to ensure that SWiC’s comprehensive, essential services remain available to the more than 1,200 survivors who rely upon us throughout the year. They come seeking safety, then begin the path of reclaiming their identity, confidence, and sense of self-worth, all with your help.
You may never directly know “who” your gift has helped, but you can be sure that you are filling a hole with your piece and helping to complete the puzzle in the life of someone in need.
You can also make a contribution by phone or mail. Please call 570.622.3991 or make check out to “SWiC” and mail to:
SWiC, P.O. Box 96, Pottsville, PA 17901
