Women and children leaving an abusive relationship can stay at Interim Place for up to four months, but then they have to move out into the community. Try to imagine this: you've taken a huge step and left a dangerous, abusive situation. Now, you're trying to get a divorce, get child support, come up with a resume and find a job with no recent work experience (many power-hungry partners prevent their wife or girlfriend from working - after all, if she's earning her own money, she's more likely to leave). You also need to find a new home near a school. Money is tight. These are just some examples of some of the barriers in place. Everyone faces their own unique set of challenges when they leave Interim Place, and we offer as much support as we can to meet their needs. How else would you furnish a new place in this situation?
Interim Place tries to contribute as many items as possible to give the woman or family their best chance of landing on their feet when they leave the shelter. We rely on donations, and we could really use your help.
We're currently in need of sheets, towels, kitchen supplies, and many other household items. While we prefer brand new items with the tags still on (wouldn't you?), we'll also accept gently used (clean, washed) items.
These donations go a long way in helping a woman or a mother set up a comfortable, SAFE new home. Please help by calling us to arrange a donation at 905-403-9691 x 2237 or going to the front page to make a monetary donation of any amount.
If you have the resources to do so, we hope you'll consider giving $500 - that's how much we need to give a Fresh Start package for a mom and her two children to settle into their new permanent home in the community.
