Hope. It’s something many people take for granted. Domestic violence survivors looking for a way out often lose hope for a safer future. At Sojourner, hope is possible, even after trauma. Our friends at PNC understand the power of hope. They have generously offered to match gifts to Sojourner up to $10,000! That’s not all - thanks to a second match from longtime friends of Sojourner, your gift will be tripled! Help us make hope possible for survivors by considering a gift today. https://lnkd.in/gbj-ck42

We are in constant awe of the generosity from our community and over the next few days, we really need your help. We're putting out an URGENT CALL FOR SCHOOL SUPPLIES to fill backpacks for children served by Sojourner before classes begin soon. If you are able, we would greatly appreciate your donation of notebooks, pens, crayons, glue sticks, tissue, notecards or any other items a kid needs to start a new school year right. You can shop directly from a special list we've created (link below), or purchase supplies separately and drop them off or mail them to 619 W. Walnut Street, Milwaukee, WI 53212. We are grateful for you always! https://a.co/dKb4HiE

Support groups offer survivors the chance to meet others experiencing domestic violence and make meaningful, sometimes lifelong, connections. Last year, more than 400 people participated in Sojourner support groups for survivors and their children, as we work to stop the generational cycle of abuse. Your gift today will not only help families fleeing violence, it will also be DOUBLED thanks to longtime friends of Sojourner who will match the first $25,000 in donations! Just click https://lnkd.in/gbj-ck42 and your gift will keep on giving!
