I make a wish when I see the clock at 11:11 that my 3 daughters can live in a world where there is no domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. Until that day arrives, there is no finish line in how much money we raise for the Center for Safety and Change! Please donate to help in the mission of the Center.
