Hi Heather,
It was a pleasure to meet you on August 27 and to have the women of
the Assistance League visit our shelter. I’m so proud of the
partnership that together our organizations have forged and I hope you
are too. I have some follow up information for Assistance League
and I’m hoping you would be willing to pass it along. ☺
Dear Assistance League Members,
Thank
you for your hard work and passion for helping our most vulnerable
friends and neighbors. Specifically, thank you for your commitment to
those who have been affected by domestic abuse and your desire to end
violence in our community. As you may remember from me being on a ladder
yesterday, we were having some audio visual difficulties. Fortunately,
with the aid of newer (and better) technology, I can share our video
electronically. When our clients recall the pain of living in an
oppressive and abusive home, they remember wearing a mask to hide their
pain. The video, “Behind the Mask,” helps
explain how secrecy and silence are domestic violence’s best allies.
The
work you do is truly remarkable. By finding the courage to talk about
domestic violence in DuPage county, you are outing a heinous crime,
reducing stigma for those affected, and ultimately making it easier for
those suffering in silence to find help and hope. Thank you so very
much.
Best,
Amanda Wapiennik
Development Coordinator
