A Journey of Hope

Meet one of our incredible clients: a survivor of domestic violence who found refuge and support at LFCD. Today, she stands strong with her daughter in their own home.

Her journey doesn’t stop there. With courage and determination, she’s pursuing CNA lessons, aiming for independence, and striving to be the best mom she can be for her daughter.

Join us in the fight against domestic violence. Together, we can empower survivors and build safer communities.
