Vanessa's Story
It all started with verbal abuse. I didn’t think much about it at the time. My husband would just give me regular tongue lashings. That eventually turned into hitting.
But when he bought a gun, I knew I had to leave.
Going into Shelter was by far the hardest thing I ever had to do. But I also know in my heart that I would not be alive today if I hadn’t made that choice.
Every single person who worked in that Shelter is a hero to me.
