October 2011 Dear Friends of The Advocates, Your support provided over 30 distinct programs to 4,372 people last year. The impact of your generosity is that nearly 100% of the people you supported reported a positive life change as result of their contact with The Advocates. Due to your donations, a boy stopped having nightmares and he and his mother for the first time feel safe. Due to your gifts, a 12 year old girl stopped being a bully, and a young woman who was sexual assaulted started the emotional healing process. Your kindness educated, prevented, and supported so many. Thank you.

cliff ready to drive off because I was pregnant and alone, my abusive husband had left me for another woman, my family back home hated me for taking off and I thought nobody cared about me . . . but for some reason your words stuck in my mind. I could hear you telling me you cared; that there was hope after all. I am here now, 8 months pregnant, in shelter, and thanks to you, Im alive.
I am no longer a stranger to self-preservation and am able to stand my ground and say when
enough is enough.
