15 Days of Impact
RAFT Team, December 17, 2016
This holiday season we are celebrating “15 Days of Impact.” It's our way of acknowledging and offering gratitude for all of you who supported and donated to our foundation this year. Because of your donations, you made an incredible impact on our mission to end violence against women.
So many lives have been touched.
So many women and children have been affected by our Live A Brighter Life curriculum.
So many caregivers who work at women's shelters are feeling healthier, and navigating their jobs with more confidence, and practicing self-care.
