“My daughter saved my life and SARC empowered me to live it. They gave me the support and resources I needed to stay safe and begin to rebuild. I had to do the work, but the involvement from SARC and the free resources that I received helped give me the confidence to know I was capable of standing up and speaking out, and that I deserved a future free from pain.”

“Knowing that I had a safe place to go and a safe place to get help was the first step on my journey. When I first left my husband I was scared of the future and didn’t know where to turn. SARC was able to provide me with counseling and advocates who helped me find resources and options that worked best for me and my family. I never felt judged only supported. I know I can move forward with my life and be safe and always turn to the advocates for help if I need it.”

“I am so grateful for the help that I got once I came to SARC. The advocate helped me understand all of my options but also gave me the tools to make the best decision for me and my kids. Counseling has been very helpful for me and for learning to understand my value. My attorney explained everything to me that was happening and advocated for my rights and what was important to me.”
