Maria’s Story

Maria arrived at the Safe House in the midst of the pandemic. We learned that she was a few months pregnant and working overnight shifts at a local grocery store. She left her abusive partner after he became increasingly controlling and violent during the stressful lock down. She worried for herself and her unborn baby. She is now sheltered safely with 180.

Alicia’s Story

Alicia made the decision to escape her abusive partner and live with her elderly parents but she suddenly became sick and tested positive for the coronavirus. She couldn’t risk infecting her parents so she had to quarantine with her abuser for an additional three weeks. As she struggled to heal from COVID-19, her partner’s abuse was relentless the entire time. Thankfully she found 180. She is safe from her abuser and is receiving our counseling services while on her path to healing.

Karen’s Story

Karen became imprisoned by her abuser during the early weeks of the quarantine. She considered running out the front door for help so many times, but when she looked out her window, the streets were empty and there was no one outside to ask for help. She eventually found a way to call our hotline. Now, she and her three children, and their pet dog, are with 180 at our Safe House.
