Dear Friends,

Let me first say thank you for all of the incredible support you have provided Rose Brooks Center during these last many months. It’s impossible not to be grateful for your advocacy and genuine care as we consider all that we have been able to accomplish together in 2022.

I hope you all know that with your support you allow Rose Brooks Center the ability to serve those who need us most – those impacted by domestic violence. Accept our sincerest thank you for your part in helping keep individuals and pets safe, and for allowing many others in the community the ability to connect with a critical resource in order to live a life free from abuse.

As you look at the Impact Report, you will see a representation of the collective work provided to survivors and those affected by violence. One of the most profound results from last year is the number of individuals we spoke to on our 24/7 crisis hotline, totaling 11,707 calls. For those in danger, the hotline provides a listening ear, critical information, safety planning, and more. It is often an important first step toward finding safety and healing. It is just one example of the impact that is achieved by your kindness.

Within the Impact Report and throughout the newsletter, you will see and read about the lives of individuals who are seeking safety, support, and ultimately reclaiming their future. A future that will be brighter because of people like you.

 

With sincere gratitude,


Lisa Fleming, CEO
