We just had to share this video. This is one of the sponsors for the Calendar Fundraiser who has generously donated Hair Salon Services & Products as well as a 58" Smart Television from her family in memory of her sister-in-law (Lisa Harnum) who sadly suffered a tragic death in 2011 at the hands of her abusive partner. This is why we do what we do. This is why we are here for women who need an escape plan. This is why we need to create more awareness around domestic violenc...e. This is why we need a National Action Plan. Are you a woman living with abuse? We are an essential service and are open 24/7 to take your call. Dial 1-800-263-3725 to speak to our trained staff. Talk to us today - let us help you create a plan. #loveshouldnthurt #EndViolenceAgainstWomen https://fb.watch/2UfqFBkTlc/

Remember the Conquer Covid-19 movement a few months ago with the help and support of fellow Canadian Ryan Reynolds? Well there were extra pails of these disinfectant cleansers and we received a visit from Detective Constables Jason Bonner & Teresa Ceranowicz of Durham Regional Police Service toting 6 pails for our Shelter. These will really come in handy for our enhanced cleaning protocols put in place since the start of the Pandemic. Thank You DRPS for your continued support of our Shelter! #communitylove #loveshouldnthurt #EndVAW #grateful
