The Harbor House Domestic Violence Center hosted an event to raise money to help their cause, to provide a safe haven for women and children who are not safe at their homes due to domestic violence.
Editor Note: The identity of the domestic violence survivor who spoke at the gala has been removed for her and her daughter’s safety. She will be referred to as *Hope.
An Evening of Hope Gala was held Friday, Oct. 14 at Ledgestone Country Club at Stonebridge. The center hosted a dinner, silent auction, live auction, and entertainment provided by the weekly karaoke singers from the country club, The Ledgestones.
In the last three years, Harbor House has offered services to more than 635 women and children who are victims of abuse. Harbor House offers shelter, food, clothing, court and medical advocacy, counseling, and life skills training to survivors, but this comes at a cost. It costs approximately $1,300 a month to shelter each survivor and child.
