Domestic Violence Prevention

Jason's two part story relating to domestic abuse has given rise to a lot of recent discussion.  While responses about the causes of these crimes pour in, calls for help flood domestic abuse hotlines nationwide.

The National Domestic Violence Hotline is a 24/7/365 free service for anyone who wants help for themselves or for a loved one.

1-800-799-SAFE is the number for the hotline.  If you or anyone you know is a victim of domestic violence, please do not hesitate to call for help.

Due to current economic conditions, charitable organizations have seen donation numbers plummet.  I challenge all who read this blog to visit their website at http://www.ndvh.org and make a donation.  

The organization was founded after the Violence Against Women Act of 1996 was created.  This organization's purpose is to provide counseling and assistance to those in need.  It's a legitimate organization that runs efficiently.  The donation process is simple and is secured by verisign.

Every little bit counts.  Please consider making a donation today.
