Your donation will help provide a lifeline of support and relief during the healing journey of survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault by covering crucial or unexpected healthcare expenses!
Many of the immigrant and refugee survivors we serve do not have health insurance, may not be eligible for employment and public benefits like medicare or medicaid or to apply for crime victims compensation.
The impacts of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault on the overall health of survivors are often unseen or sudden. Emergent health needs can include doctor visits, emergency/urgent care bills, ambulance expenses, mental wellness support and therapy, and so much more. Some health issues may even manifest at a later time.
These survivors have already faced unimaginable challenges, and we believe they shouldn't have to bear these financial burdens alone, having to choose between basic needs and healthcare.
