Organization Details:
Our mission is to provide victims of domestic violence with the financial resources to enjoy what might be their very first family vacation, so they can form memories that will change their lives forever.
Description and/or History:
It is the goal of our Foundation and our supporters to fund family vacations for victims of domestic violence so they can “make memories” that will serve as valuable building blocks for getting their lives and families back on track. Planning a vacation is not an option for many families affected by domestic violence, yet it is exactly what they need. These vacation memories are so powerful, they often form an anchor for children to return to, recalling these memories when they want to feel better, or when they want to dream. These are the kinds of memories that pull a child through difficult times, serving as a driving force for what they want to provide for their own families someday.
