I do everything I can for this organization because no one deserves to live in fear.
I want to make you something as a way of saying thanks, so I'm having a raffle.
My fundraising goal this year is $1,000! :
Every $10 donation I receive will be entered into a drawing to receive a piece made by me.
Handknit shawls, woven scarves, there are many possibilities with the exception of fitted garments.
Multiple entries welcome ($20=2, $50=5, $100= 10, $250 = instant winner level.)
First prize Winner will have color and shape options. Yardage(size) will be determined by my total fundraising.
Second and Third Prizes have been made and pictures can be found here -
One red crescent shape shawl, with deep red beads

Winners will be selected December 6th.
Open to anyone, even Kathy LeMay ;-)
Delivery of the piece will be approximately 60 days after Hot Chocolate Run.
Instant winners will receive their piece 45 days from receipt of donation.
My employer is matching donations so $5 becomes $10, $25 becomes $50 and together we make a difference. Please help me to give voice and hope to those that truly need it.

$55: A survivor's first counseling session. For many of Safe Passage's clients, this is the first time they've felt heard. It's the first time in years that they've felt hopeful.
$120: A drop-in support group session for survivors of domestic violence
$225: Information, advice and support for a survivor facing a divorce or custody dispute
$500: Healing counseling for a child who has witnessed violence
