If it's safe to do so, try to bring the items below. But remember: your safety comes first. If leaving quickly means leaving everything behind, do it. Documents can be replaced. You cannot.
Thousands of women have walked this path before you. They've felt the same fear, the same uncertainty, the same exhaustion. And they've made it through to the other side.
Watch as a survivor shares her journey from fear to freedom. Her courage reminds us that healing is possible, and that no one has to face abuse alone.
Shared with permission to help others find hope.

"Women and Children First has not only given me and my children a safe place to stay, they have showed me how to depend on myself for my own happiness. I have been afraid to live my life for many years but now Women and Children First has changed my outlook on life. I know my self-worth and I will not settle for anything but the best for my children and I."

"The staff at the Shelter are wonderful, and while you think you're weak and think you can't get help or can't move, the staff is strong for you and it helps you empower yourself and they help you feel strong. Today, I feel like I can do it. I have beautiful children who are safe and I have hope for the future. I finally feel safe for once in my life."
