Your support gives survivors of domestic violence a safe refuge where they can heal from trauma, get support, and begin to dream again. At just eight years old, Maria saw her own father inflicting violence on her mother at home. Thankfully, in a moment of hope, her mother found the courage to flee and seek refuge at CPLC De Colores. Our center provides families like theirs resources , such as therapy, free meals and bus passes, access to a healing garden, and classes to become financially independent. Survivors can also benefit from legal services to obtain orders of protection, file for divorce, or find immigration support. And our new pet program ensures even their furry friends are safe from danger. Here, Maria’s family found not just a safe refuge, but also a new home where they made beautiful memories together. Today, Maria is a pre-med graduate from Arizona State University with plans to become a doctor and volunteers often at the shelter garden. She still sees herself in the young children at the center and hopes they, too, can heal, grow beyond their trauma, and begin to dream. *Name has been changed to protect privacy Give them that safe refuge Give now at cplc.org/DeColores Every child and mother deserves to feel safe at home.
