Domestic violence is a serious issue affecting thousands of women across Arizona:
🚫1 in 3 women in Arizona will experience domestic violence at some point in their lives. 🚫Over 100 deaths were linked to domestic violence across the state in 2022 alone. 🚫99% of survivors face financial abuse, leaving them without the resources to escape.
At Live & Learn, we are committed to providing the tools and support women need to break free and rebuild. Through education and empowerment, we’re helping women reclaim their futures.
🌟 Support Women During Domestic Violence Awareness Month 🌟
This October, we are on a mission to raise $20,000 to provide vital resources for 200 women annually who are escaping domestic violence. Your donation can offer survivors access to life-changing services such as education, job training, and emotional support—helping them reclaim their lives and build safer futures for themselves and their children. 💜
No gift is too small. Every dollar you give goes directly to empowering these women and giving them the tools they need to break free from abuse.
