The Essence of Gratitude in Challenging Times

As the comforting warmth of Thanksgiving surrounds many of us, it's also a time to reflect on those who face increased challenges during the holiday season. At Halcyon Home, we are deeply thankful for the continuous support from our community. Your generosity significantly impacts the lives of women and children seeking refuge from domestic violence, ensuring they have a haven in their darkest moments.

The Hidden Risks of the Holidays

Thanksgiving should be a time filled with joy and togetherness, yet for many survivors of domestic violence, the holidays heighten stress and risk. Reports of domestic violence can increase by nearly 20% during this period, underlining the urgent need for safe spaces like ours. Your support makes it possible for these individuals to find the help they desperately need.

Three Ways to Make a Difference This Thanksgiving

1. Donate: Your financial contributions are critical. Every dollar provides safety, comfort, and the stability needed for survivors to rebuild their lives.
2. Give Needs List Items: Essential supplies such as linens, toiletries, school supplies, and car seats meet immediate needs and relieve the pressures faced by our residents.
3. Shop the Thrift Store: Every purchase supports our programs, directly aiding survivors in their journey toward independence and recovery.

From all of us at Halcyon Home, thank you for standing with survivors this holiday season. Your kindness and support illuminate a path of hope and healing for many.
