Coburn Place Safe Haven

Our promise to our community – we will continue to walk alongside survivors, no matter what. We exist because of your fervent care for families impacted by domestic violence and homelessness. Thank you. Together, we can help break the cycle of violence for future generations and make Indianapolis a place where all families can flourish. Everyone deserves a safe home.

Michelle organized a donation drive with Delta Faucet Company to make take-home Thanksgiving dinner kits for survivors. Thanks to Michelle and Delta Faucet, 75 families will enjoy a private feast at home this year!

When school is on break, the kids at Coburn Place can participate in camp activities with our Children's Services! This year they rock climbed at Waterman's Farm, learned the basics of coding with Code Ninja, explored the zoo, swam at the YMCA, and did many more fun things. It's important that kids can be kids.

Swifties have a REPUTATION for their big hearts and they showed it last night. Influencer Tess Bohne started a fundraiser benefiting Coburn Place to celebrate Taylor Swift performing in Indy this weekend and the Swiftie community has already raised more than $34,000 for survivors! We are so overwhelmed with joy and gratitude for this amazing support. LONG LIVE the impact these incredible Swifties are making by including Coburn Place as part of their LOVE STORY. 💜

The Halloween Ding Dong Door decoration contest at Coburn Place was neck and neck this year! In the family category, apartment 305 won first place, apartment 102 came in second and apartment 203 came in third. In the single resident category, apartment 206 took first place, 309 came in second and 307 came in third. Congratulations to all the winners!

Our friends from Butler University Kappa Kappa Gamma recently stopped by to help us clean an apartment! Thanks for rolling up your sleeves and getting the hard work done. Your support means a lot!

It’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and DV affects far more people than we may realize. More than 10 million adults in the United States experience some form of domestic violence annually. That’s more than 10 times the population of Indianapolis. Additionally, it’s estimated that only half of all DV incidents get reported, so the real number of affected people is likely much higher. Help is available – don’t be afraid to reach out. #DVawareness #BreakTheSilence #SupportSurvivors #DVAM24

Every month, we host a therapeutic program where survivors explore healing through the power of storytelling. Hearing from fellow survivors can inspire and encourage others on their path toward a fresh start. It's a space for community, support, growth and hope!

We need help prepping for the upcoming holidays! A donation of new or gently used Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa items can ensure a survivor has what they need to celebrate any occasion properly. Thanks for making the holidays feel like the holidays. 💜 To donate, please contact drew@coburnplace.org.

Domestic violence is not only an adult problem. Kids are one of the most vulnerable populations to its effects. Children who witness DV are: •  Six times more likely to die by suicide and 50% more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol • 74% more likely to commit a violent crime against someone else • Three times more likely to be abused or perpetrate abuse in adulthood It's our collective responsibility to break this cycle and create a safer, healthier future for our kids. Let's provide the support and resources they need. #BreakTheCycle #EndDV #DVAM24
