So excited about this project Denton County Friends of the Family is doing!
Right now, survivors of domestic violence are forced to navigate numerous systems that rarely talk to each other.
They retell their stories over and over, and at countless points along their trek, they run across barriers that can feel insurmountable.
They’re bravely forging their own paths as best they can, but they shouldn’t have to forge anything at all:
The path should already be laid for them.
That’s what Expedition Hope is all about: Blazing the trail where none exists so that survivors have a clear, broad highway to walk, with Denton County Friends of the Family by their side.
Check it out:
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and this year we're marking it by taking the first step on something we've dreamed about for a long time.
Right now, surviving isn't the hardest part. Navigating what comes next is.
Survivors in Denton County often have to find their way through multiple systems to get the help they need. That can mean traveling to different locations, juggling appointments, and retelling their story again and again, all while trying to keep themselves and their children safe.
The path to safety shouldn't be harder because help is scattered.
That's why we're launching Expedition Hope: Forging the Trail for the Next Generation.
Expedition Hope is the campaign to build our Family Justice Center, a survivor-centered campus that will bring safety, housing, advocacy, healing, economic opportunity, and community partners together in one place. It's designed around survivors and their families, so they can move forward on their own path with the support and choices they deserve.
Every journey is different. But no one should have to forge the path alone.
This month, we invite you to join us on the trail. Follow along, share our story, and help us build a future where finding help is as simple as finding one place.
One path. One place. One destination: Hope. 🦋
