Helping Youth Survivors of Violence
Donate to DartHeart!
DartHeart is in desperate need of a new website. We’ve got 5 days left on our new website campaign, and I’m asking you to please consider donating $25 to $50. http://www.indiegogo.com/dartheart-new-website
With a new website, we’ll reach more survivors, have an easier time bringing together survivors and supporters, and get more violence prevention projects going to really make an impact.
I’ll be donating this week and am hoping you’ll all consider contributing since we have so much good work we can do to support survivors of violence and stop violence from happening again.
Our good work starts with a new website so please share your holiday joy with this gift to DartHeart!
Thanks!!

STOP DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!!
OCTOBER is the month to be talking about DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!
Of course this is not the easiest thing to discuss-much easier to sweep it under the rug and pretend this happens to “other” people- not me, not my friends, not my family. But we can’t hide from the truth. Domestic Violence affects all of us directly and indirectly. We don’t want to live in a world where people are afraid to go home, to talk to anyone about their unsafe circumstances, or seek help when they need it.
If you’re a survivor of violence, do a quick check:
1) Are you safe?
2) Do you have people you can turn to for help?
3) Are you thinking about how you can look to your experience to help someone else?
Now’s the time for all of us to be brave enough to help someone else. Who better than you, a survivor of violence, to get the conversation going about why domestic violence must STOP NOW!
Be the change and turn your recovery from violence into something positive!!

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
