She left everything familiar behind to find safety. After fleeing across the country, a recent DAWN survivor was able to access safe housing and begin building a more stable future. That next chapter was possible because your support was there when it mattered most. Every survivor deserves the chance to start again in safety. Thank you for you continued support of DAWN. #ClientStory #SafeHousing #DAWNRising

A coffee maker might seem small, but for a family settling into a safer space, it can help a new place feel like home. DAWN currently needs coffee makers and other household essentials to help survivors and their children get started again with comfort and dignity. If you’d like to help, please email development@dawnrising.org to coordinate. #CommunitySupport #DonateGoods #DAWNRising

Because of this community, May It Forward raised more than $100,000 for survivors and families building safer futures. That support helps make emergency shelter, housing stability, advocacy, and healing services possible when they are needed most. Thank you for showing up for DAWN and for the people who count on these services every day. #MayItForward #SupportSurvivors #DAWNRising

💜 Because of you, a new chapter is beginning. Recently, a DAWN client shared that they’ve been accepted into a new position and will be starting their new career next month. This milestone didn’t come easily. While receiving TANF and navigating financial barriers, the client didn’t have the resources to cover the cost of training and licensing. With your support, DAWN was able to step in and provide financial assistance, helping remove that barrier and open the door to opportunity. At the same time, with advocacy and support, the client was approved for rapid rehousing through DVCHAP and has now secured stable housing. That means: • A safe place to live • A new career path • A future that feels possible again This is what your support makes possible! Not just stability in the moment, but real, lasting change. If you believe in creating pathways forward for survivors, we invite you to continue standing with them: dawn.networkforgood.com/projects/23618-dawn-daily-donations-program💜 #DAWNRising #BecauseOfYou #SupportSurvivors #HousingStability #CareerPathways #CommunityImpact
