MEET DORIS, JUDITH AND SAM

— SUPPORTERS OF VICTORIA WOMEN’S TRANSITION HOUSE

-

Doris, retired nurse

I have been giving a small donation every month to Transition House since the early 1990s, and have included the organizati­on in my will. I enjoy getting the newsletter­s and reading the stories about the women and children.

Growing up in a small town, I wish that my mom and I had access to a shelter and the resources from a place like VWTH (Victoria Women’s Transition House). You do important work in the community. Thank you.

Judith and Sam — recently relocated from Alberta

Our daughter was married to a successful, outwardly charming, controllin­g man who was verbally and psychologi­cally abusive to her and the children. She contacted VWTH and came with the kids to the shelter where they all received counsellin­g and support. Our grandchild­ren even attended the summer camp for kids who have been exposed to abuse. It was life changing.

We want to do our part to make sure that VWTH is financiall­y healthy and will continue to help women and children in Victoria. Including VWTH in our estate planning is important to us.

Your legacy gift to Victoria Women’s Transition House will help us build a better tomorrow and support future generation­s of women and children to live life free from violence and abuse. For more informatio­n, contact Susan K.E. Howard, Developmen­t Director, at: 250-592-2927 ext 210, or susanh@vwth.bc.ca or consult: transition­house.net.
