Last night I attended an event raising awareness for Zonta house homeless shelter for women victims of domestic violence in conjunction with the VIP opening of Stax in Karrinyup shopping centre.
We were requested to donate necessities in return for a gifted outfit. I compiled a donation bag filled with needs and wants.
There is nothing harder than a mother escaping domestic violence. Be it on any level from physical, parental, emotional, financial, or even system abuse. There are many times when the perpetrator not only takes control of their life but also their finances, which leads them to not be able to provide fully for their child nor to defend themselves properly in court. This happens more than you know.
So if you see a mother who is without food and money, anything for survival, if you see a fundraising page for a mother pleading to get her children back, I can almost assure you, this mother has done absolutely nothing wrong. Rather, her life is being controlled, and she’s nearly desperate to try and free herself and her children.
Zonta House is doing phenomenal things, and I urge each and every one of you to donate something.
Go check out the new Stax store, opens to the public today!
