“The Organization has initiated a new mission to build a community for women who have experienced abusive and toxic relationships. Program services will focus on support, education, and creating environments where women and their children can feel and be safe, be heard, and become empowered to make the decisions that will improve and guard their bodies, hearts, and minds. These goals will be accomplished by offering counseling services, support groups and peer mentoring, coaching,and education.”

“The Organization sold the building in which the program services were provided in 2020 and prior years. In 2021, services were to have been provided by assisting and supporting other organizations that were involved in various charitable activities and ministries, however, that did not transpire. With the installation of a new Board of Directors and new management after the discovery of a material diversion of assets, the Organization has now undertaken a new direction and is devoted to supporting women and their children who have experienced abusive and toxic relationships.”
