National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE Kids Help Phone: 1-800-668-6868

This home is being built to warmly welcome*all* victims of emotional, psychological, physical and sexual abuse---

to direct to safety those whose lives are in *immediate* danger;

to provide help to those desperately seeking guidance, answers and a way out;

to inform you of your legal rights and provide research information and books to read on domestic abuse;

to share each others' incredibly heartbreaking stories of courage, daily survival, triumphant comebacks, soul-wrenching counseling, and deep tragedies;

to provide strong supportive arms of love, caring and comfort to nurture and heal our souls, minds, and bodies from the scars that are *always* left upon us when abused, battered or neglected.

and to inspire you with the touching words and music of my favorite Inspirational Songs.

This home is dedicated to all of us who need to regain our self-worth, self-esteem and self-confidence that was riped away from us because of the horrendous scars of domestic violence, and to guide us to a more positive and loving way of life, move on and overcome the fears that have shattered our lives and haunted our souls for possibly many years. Leading us to safety and security.

~~ Battered ~~ Hollow eyes, heart of tears. Empty soul beyond the years. Stabbing words, torn apart. Grieving silent in the dark. Life of pain, no escape. Prison of your heart it takes. Prayers cried in the night, Candles always burning bright. Light of Hope, Light of Love. God has sent from up above. Singing dove, fly so free. On its' wing it carries me. "Take our hands. Save your heart. My friend, *You* have a new start." Carole Roy

~~~ Your first step toward freedom from abuse is to ~~~

~~~ Follow the flight of my Dove ~~~
