Happy Friday, y'all!
We are currently looking for a Window AC Unit for one of our residents who will be transitioning out of our emergency shelter soon. This person has secured an apartment of her very own and has taken enormous steps forward in her healing journey during her time at Project Safe. She has activley worked toward reaching her goals since stepping foot into our shelter months back, and we are so proud of her for the strength she's demonstrated, despite the pain and abuse she's experienced. We're so excited for her.
If anyone is able to donate a Window AC Unit (in very good condition), please call our business line at (706) 549-0922. All donations can be dropped off at our thrift store located at 995 Hawthorne Avenue.
The dimensions of the Window AC Unit should be: Length: 19-20" Width: 24"
Thank you in advance for your support of survivors of intimate partner violence and Project Safe <3

Today, we wish all mothers and mother figures who have experienced intimate partner violence a Happy Mother’s Day.
Each resident in our emergency shelter will receive a flower today to honor the beautiful wisdom they provide to the people in their lives. The strength, courage, love, and resilience these women possess is so much more than the pain they’ve experienced. How lucky are we to know such amazing women? Happy Mother’s Day from Project Safe ♥️
“In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.”- Maya Angelou
Thank you to JWI for the gorgeous flowers and for supporting survivors of intimate partner violence today and every day.

"Violence against women and girls takes many forms. Reproductive abuse, coercion, and sexual assault are tactics of abuse facing many survivors of domestic violence, even though these tactics are not as commonly known or understood as emotional or physical abuse. People who choose to abuse may use reproductive abuse and coercion to exert power and control over victims."
The National Network to End Domestic Violence
The violation of consent and exposure to recognizable harm that stealthing presents clearly identifies this act as a dimension of sexual assault and reproductive abuse. #SAAMMore ⬇️⬇️
