Jessica reached out to Gillian’s Place after her partner's escalating violence made home life unbearable. With three young children to protect, she knew she had to find a safe place for them. At Gillian’s Place, Jessica was was welcomed with open arms and eventually able to rebuild her life. Her children, once scared and uncertain, are now thriving in Second-Stage Transitional Unit. Today, Jessica is focused on healing and creating a brighter future for her family, with the confidence that they are finally safe and supported. #gilliansplace #chanceforchange #endgbv
