In late May/early June we had a cash flow crisis that threatened our existence.  As I sat in my office on that sunny day, reeling from the news I had just received, I could hear children playing in Claudia House’s back yard.  I knew that we had to figure out something, anything… other than closing down and causing 32 people, nearly 22 of them small children, to return home to their abusers.  What would happen when folks had to return home because they had no other place to go?  What would happen if Survivors, Inc. was not open to answer the hotline at any time of the day or night… to admit someone into shelter, to provide support at the hospital or a police station, to be a nonjudgmental and affirming voice on the other end of the phone?  As we know all too well, any act of abuse can escalate to lethality.

Thankfully, you were part of our solution.  Our community is the heroes of those impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault.  We needed a miracle, and we were answered… by you.  We could not have stayed open and continued service provision without you.  On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Staff, the women and children residing at Claudia House, and all those who called the hotline or needed service, we thank you. 

Humbly,

Terri Hamrick
