How I know that Leah’s Place is needed

On September 24th I was graced with an opportunity to speak and offer my perspective and experiences with the Redefined Church Women’s Group. The video taken during this event is live now on the Leah’s Place Facebook Page. Following the event, I had three disclosures of abuse and exploitation from the women that invited me in to speak. Victims of abuse and exploitation are shamed into keeping their stories in the dark, made to believe they are alone in their pain. The Numbers page on our site that just went live already needs to be updated. There are so many women and children living part or all of their lives in secret, just trying to survive and seem normal in a world that is so full of people just like us. Thank you Redefined Women for shining light into the darkness, for sharing your space and your strength and offering up comfort to our program participants yet to come! The group raffled off a beautiful, handcrafted quilt to help cover the cost of food for the event, and the winner graciously donated this beautiful piece to bring beauty and softness to the Leah’s Place Comfort Home.
