FUNDRAISING
A Safe Place ... but only with YOUR help.
Abuse or domestic violence happens equally in all ethnic
racial, and socio-economic groups of society - young, old,
black, white, rich or poor. And almost always women. One
of every three women murdered in the United States is killed
by a husband or boyfriend.
Chances & Changes is enthusiastic about the
private, comfortable house it has secured to help victims
of domestic violence in Livingston County, New York. The
next step is making our house a home ... a safe home for
those in need to take shelter, to take a chance, and make
a change for a better life. That is where we need your help.
We need your help to provide families with a comfortable
and safe place to sleep. We need your help to provide people
with an efficient and safe place to prepare and eat meals.
We need your help to provide children with a fun and safe
place to play. At Chances & Changes, we need
your help to provide people with a place to put things back
together to begin again, to feel at home in a safe place.
Domestic violence is a reality. Someone you know may
be in an abusive relationship - and you may never find out.
Yet Chances & Changes does find out, every day
and every night. And Chances & Changes is in
a position to help ... but not without you.
To help ... call (585) 658-3940.

"After
22 years I finally had the courage to get help. I
finally had the courage to leave, I still don't know
where the courage came from. I had been physically
and sexually abused by my husband for years and never
had the strength to walk away from it - not until
my youngest was out of school. And now I am on my
own. I am safe and I am alive. Chances & Changes
gave me a place to stay, to be safe, to start. They
let me know I wasn't alone. I will always wonder why
I didn't ask for their help sooner."
Lucy,
