Here’s something that landed in my inbox from Sarah Ruddle at the Canadian Women’s Foundation. It’s about their just-launched Shelter from the Storm campaign–check it out:
Every year in Canada up to 360,000 children witness violence in their homes and nearly 100,000 women and children seek refuge in a shelter. Shelter from the Storm is Canada’s largest national fundraising campaign dedicated to ending violence against women. Funds raised will support community violence prevention programs and over 450 shelters for abused women across Canada. The campaign runs from April 13th until May 10th. For more information or to donate online visit www.shelterfromthestorm.ca.

This is a great program that also raises awareness! Thanks for promoting it. Each year, thousands of Canadian women and children stay at shelters because of abuse they are experiencing at home.
Make sure you check out the moving video on the http://www.shelterfromthestorm.ca website.
