Therefore, we depend on our friends - individuals, corporations, and foundations for support of the work we are doing.
This relationship has reciprocity, as we provide services for the community which empowers us.

A Supportive Hug

​

We believe in the dignity and equality of every human being. Therefore, all people should be valued and empowered to live free of the fear of violence in their homes. To this end, we strive to address all forms of oppression and discrimination in the Alabama Wiregrass region in order to support a safe and thriving community. This philosophy specifically informs our intention to pour out love on our residents, so that they can heal, and ultimately thrive.

The Purple Lotus is significant for us. Purple is the color of domestic violence and the lotus is a flower which blooms after emerging from murky depths. We think that this symbolizes those we serve, as they are all deserving of a beautiful life, no matter how much trauma has been endured. Our primary fundraising efforts are called “Purple Lotus” events.
