“When everything felt overwhelming, I knew I wasn't facing it alone. Having someone walk beside me made all the difference.” - Paula

Paula reached out to The Cridge Transition House for Women when she feared for her safety and the safety of her daughter. Knowing they needed to leave quickly, Paula took the brave first step of asking for help. Paula faced countless obstacles as she navigated complex systems, sought protection, and worked to build a new future for herself and her child. Through every challenge, our anti-violence workers stood by her side, helping her create safety plans, connect with vital resources, and access the support she needed to move forward.

Together, we can walk side by side with women and children as they move from crisis to safety, from fear to hope, and toward a brighter future.
