✨ Thursday Testimonies: Success Stories at WomenRising ✨

"I became a client at WomenRising in January 2023, where a DV Advocate provided exceptional support. She restored my hope and sense of self by securing welfare benefits, legal assistance for the TRO trial, essential supplies, furniture, and back rent assistance. This organization helped me rebuild my life, and I am incredibly grateful. Thanks to their support, I can now live a mentally healthy life, dream of a bright future, and pursue a career."

We are honored to share these inspiring stories of resilience and transformation. Your strength and courage motivate us every day. 💪💜
