To her, in that moment, it was a decision without much hope: choose to stay with her abusive partner, or escape in the night to the hospital, with the looming fear of COVID.

Nathalie bravely chose to leave her home, all her belongings, and her life as she had known it—and put her faith in Doorways.

"With support from Doorways, I finally overcame the barriers that had prevented me from escaping abuse before. Now, I know I can make lasting change, achieve my goals, and make it on my own."
