4. Economic Abuse
Shoe Therapy is a huge supporter in the fight against domestic violence. We have partnered with Missouri's largest local safe house. This local safe house helps women and children escape domestic violence by providing safety, shelter, support and hope.
WHY YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
In 2009, the local safe house provided shelter to 225 women and 278 children. These women and children are our families, friends and neighbors. Although domestic violence should not happen to anyone, IT DOES AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. With the assistance and generosity of the community, this is how the local safe house remains open, and we need your help to make it possible.
