For now, may they remain a safe option, open, and funded..

To be faced with the rage, and have no one, or no where to turn...emotionally and physically beaten, demeaned, confidence stripped - feeling guilty because you have been told it is your fault - takes very strong inner strength to make a comeback, to finally feel the wind under your wings...

What you want to wish for is that there are always enough safe homes for those who need them.
