Dear John,

Last year, Colleen was one of the thousands of women who received a Live Your Dream Award and said it completely changed their life.

She wrote, "You opened more doors for me than you may ever truly understand. Not only for me, but for my young son."

That’s the kind of impact we want to keep making this fall… and it starts by ensuring that we have the funds to provide enough awards to all the deserving women who have already sent in their applications this fall, hoping to be selected for an award.

That's why I'm asking you today to please consider a donation to help empower survivors. ([link removed])

You’ll provide financial support to women who have been forced to suffer through all kinds of abuse, and restore their hope for a brighter future.

Colleen is living proof that our Live Your Dream Awards program can turn someone’s life around! ([link removed])

"This award has undeniably changed life for my family and me. My experiences were validated, my suffering acknowledged and my resiliency celebrated. For the first time, the fear and shame… were lifted and I was finally free.

—Colleen M., Live Your Dream Awards recipient

After graduating with three associate's degrees in 2021, Colleen plans to continue on to law school.

It’s stories like these that make us proud to work with our program volunteers, and grateful for amazing partners like you.

Will you join us again today and help invest in making education dreams come true for survivors just like Colleen? ([link removed])

Every dollar will help give a survivor struggling to find her independence the resources and encouragement to keep going: To take the first step—or the next step—on her journey toward her dreams.

Thank you,
Karen Rauppius
