Giving Tuesday
The holiday season is on our doorstep and for many women, the thought of spending more time alone and isolated with their abusive partner creates additional stress, anxiety and tension that can lead to abuse. Abrigo works tirelessly to support women and their children facing intimate partner violence. We provide our clients with a pathway out of abuse.
But we can’t do it alone.
Today is Giving Tuesday, an international day of philanthropy around the world. Now more than ever we need your help to support women living with gender-based violence. Each year Abrigo assists more than 500 women facing physical violence, verbal, emotional and financial abuse.
Your donation today will help purchase:
Food Vouchers
Leaving an abusive relationship can also mean leaving one’s financial security, too many women and their kids go hungry every night. Your gift will help women and children access nutritional and comforting meals.
Health Items and Medical Supplies
As we all know, health items and medical supplies not covered by OHIP are expensive and this issue hits home even harder for precarious status women.
Therapeutic Art Supplies
Abrigo Women’s Group for survivors of abuse focuses on personal empowerment and through expressive arts topics such as self-esteem, stress management and healthy conflict resolution, support women in moving toward their personal goals.
Whatever your reason is for giving – your personal experience with abuse or that of your family, friends or a co-worker – every donation makes a difference for someone in need.
Toronto designated intimate partner violence an epidemic in our city. Let’s not leave anyone behind. Help us build a better future for all women facing abuse.
Thank you for making a positive impact on our clients.
