Even if in small ways, I know I am helping this wonderful agency and assisting victims on their path beyond a world of domestic violence. I devote a fair amount of my spare time to promoting Safehome in Johnson County, speaking on behalf of the agency to advocate for prevention, educate people on how to recognize and respond to domestic violence at work and in their personal lives, and garner additional support and resources. I tap into my professional and personal networks when a need arises, rallying my friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors!”

At the end of the day, I feel that I did something good for the victims and the community.

A staff member always explains the role of Safehome in our city and how, as young people, they can begin making wise choices in how they treat one another. It is always a powerful and rewarding experience.

Volunteering at Safehome has also given me skills that will serve me in volunteering at other organizations in the future and in future jobs.

Mike says that that one decision his mom made, to leave, changed everything. She was able to get a job, and eventually got her master’s degree. “Had there not been a place like Safehome, I would have been a six-year-old little boy living with my mom and three young siblings in our car. I give mom a lot of credit for what she did for our family in leaving”.

This, how well the organization is run, and the helpful services offered by Safehome have impressed me and made volunteering here a very positive experience.

Through our sponsorship with Safehome, we provide our customers and employees with valuable event experiences that we know directly impact survivors who need our help. We look forward to continuing our support of Safehome into the future.

Safehome empowered me to believe in myself and to love myself, which made it possible for me to do all of these others things on my own. Even more than that, Safehome saved my life by teaching me I am valuable and that life can be beautiful, once I found the strength to live instead of merely survive.

Safehome’s staff collaborated across departments to provide quality care to Mateo and to make him feel safe and comfortable. His Therapist, Case Manager, and Safehome’s Health Navigator worked with Mateo until he was ready to process what kept him from addressing his health needs.  Mateo is now making great strides in moving forward and taking care of his physical health, something he was simply not equipped to do before.

I will walk beside you through this, no matter what you decide to do”.  That was the moment I knew that Safehome was the right place for me to find respect, trust, and space to heal.”
