#17 Supporter's Toolkit

<p>How many of you know someone in abuse, but you don't know what to do, or how to help? &nbsp;Please come and find out what you can do. Please, we must save more lives. It is up to all of us. Supporter's Toolkit: Leaving is often the most dangerous time for a victim of abuse because abuse is about power and control. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>When a victim leaves, they are taking control of their lives and threatening the abusive partner’s power, which could cause the abusive partner to retaliate in very destructive ways: physical, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and financially. For myself, I had three main supporters that helped me. 1) family, 2) a co-worker, 3) a stranger who was in the right place at the right time--her name was Gloria. (I'll share more about Gloria later). Their support was built on trust and they were there for me when I was ready to make my move. Without them, I would have never made it out and I’m 99% sure I would have been a tragic news story on the evening news. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>We know people in abusive situations. As friends, family, co-workers, and strangers, &nbsp;WHAT can we do to help them? We want to be a light for them to get out of the darkness! &nbsp;With COVID19, the numbers are rising. More victims are trapped with their abusers. &nbsp;HOW DO WE HELP THEM OUT OF THIS ABUSE? ANSWER?? BECOME A SUPPORTER! Join us to give two books of my book Pinpoints of Light: Escaping the Abyss of Abuse to survivors in &nbsp;11,000 Shelters Across the US! Give two books today.&nbsp;</p> <p>Get your friends and family involved. Beacon of Light Podcast tonight! 6:30 pm Mountain so same 7:30 pm Central.</p>
