The Pain of Domestic Violence
The Pain of Domestic Violence
Every day, thousands of people find themselves in what can feel like life ending situations. These events usually don't make the news and are rarely talked about, but they are debilitating to the victim and their family. Many of these events happen to families with children, who are always innocent. Members of our team have experienced these events, and remember the struggles that domestic violence has caused their families.

How The Ahava Project Helps
How The Ahava Project Helps
We have partnered with local domestic violence shelters to provide assistance to the families they serve. Often times these families come to the shelters and will receive only the basics of what they need to get through this time in their lives.
We strive to fill in the gaps between the basics and what is needed, such as:
Picking up a duplicate toy that a child was forced to leave behind in seeking shelter
Finding clothing for an individual with specific needs
Providing gas money or bus passes to help with transportation
We work to bring a little extra piece of love and comfort to these families to ease some of the pain they are experiencing.
