Safe and Sound

Cheryl, a survivor of domestic violence, struggled with deep depression after leaving her abuser and father of her 3 children. Following 18 months in transitional housing, she found support at Ruby’s Place, where they connected her with a therapist to start her recovery journey. With newfound strength, Cheryl secured a job and an apartment, but lacked essential furnishings like beds, chairs, and tables.

Cheryl was a survivor of domestic violence which sent her into a deep depression. After leaving her abuser and the father of her 3 children, she lost her job, and had to live in transitional housing with her children for 18 months before getting help at Ruby’s place. They were able to help her find a therapist, and she began the long road to recovery. Soon she had a new job and an apartment. Unfortunately, she had nothing to furnish it with: no beds, chairs, or tables. That’s where you stepped in! Please take 3 minutes to hover your mouse over each of the photos below and see how Cheryl’s life was changed in just one day!
