On one Saturday in October, domestic abuse survivors from our SafetyNet program put their worries aside and participated in a celebration of their resilience, their beauty and their connection. The program included a fashion show, Zumba lesson, 360 Photo Booth, delicious lunch, inspirational words and gifts. It was a special time for the ladies to focus on themselves. Bellaney, an attendee, shared her thoughts:

I want to thank HomeSafe and all those who collaborate with the agency so that survivors of domestic violence can see another outlook of our lives. The only thing we have to do is recognize that we have a problem which we need help to overcome. When they offered me help, I hesitated a lot to accept, since my self-esteem was very damaged.  I felt ashamed and could not accept that I had suffered from violence; but today I consider that it was my biggest and best decision in life, since today I feel empowered.

Thank you to the individuals and companies whose support made the program possible:

  • Chef Jose Ignacio Paredes and Coromoto 2020
  • Marjorie Onoro Gema
