The lives we have touched…

“Thank you for giving me hope when I had none and for encouraging me when I felt like giving up.  You always had a way of making me feel better.   P.S.  I am FINALLY happy!”

“I want to thank you so very much for all the help I have received from you.  My son and I would not have had food and shelter if it had not been for the caring people of Peace Place… I hope that you can continue to serve the Barrow and surrounding communities, there are so many women in need of a safe place to go, a shoulder to lean on and a place to get a new lease on life.  So again, thank you all so very much!”

“I came to you on July 5, 2004 with only the clothes I was wearing.  You gave me a place to stay, clothing, soap, bath towels, bath cloths, shampoo, cream rinse, toothbrush, toothpaste, hair brush and make up.  The best thing you gave me was my self esteem back…”

“When I came to the Peace Place, I was afraid, I had no self esteem.  I didn’t know what to do, I started out with no job, no money, two children with me I couldn’t take care of.  Being here was a blessing for me and my girls.”

“While at Peace Place I was given something I had never had before, an opportunity to become a stronger independent woman.  They offer not only shelter, but every kind of support you could possibly need.  I think God puts angels on earth and everyone at the shelter has a little angel in them.”

“It is now three months after that horrible night and my daughter and I are inside our own home, safe and comfortable.  Life goes on as before, only absent of violence.  I can not imagine how I could have come this far without the support of Peace Place.  I hope one day to be able to give back to a group that is making such a difference in the quality of life.”

“Words cannot adequately convey my appreciation to all those who have worked so hard to offer a place of safety and shelter for those who suffer from domestic violence. Peace Place is truly a Godsend.”
