One dollar may save a woman’s life.
As many of you know, I have been an advocate for victims of
domestic abuse and affiliated with Gateway Battered Women’s Services for years
now. Gateway is particularly special to
me because it is the only women’s shelter in the country that allows its
victims to bring their pets. Pets are
the unfortunate victims of domestic abuse because abusers use the threat of
harm to pets to control their victims.
Many women are afraid to leave an abusive household if they can’t bring
their pets, knowing the abuser will harm the pet if she doesn’t stay to protect
it.
Even if you can just give one dollar it will make a huge
difference, because if many of you give just one dollar, we’ll raise quite a
lot of dough to help these women out of the grips of their abusers. This holiday season, Gateway needs King
Soopers and Safeway gift certificates, RTD 10-Ride ticket books, and gift
certificates to Target, Wal-Mart and Best Buy so that Gateway may purchase
personalized items for the victims who would otherwise go without holiday gifts
and necessities.
I welcome you to donate the following ways: Either mail me a check or money order to The
Taibo Law Firm, LLC, 6860 S. Yosemite Court, Suite 2000, Centennial, Colorado
80112. Or, click on this link and submit a payment via the GoFundMe account I set up. Please make sure to give me your contact information
so I can send you a “thank you for donating” letter, which you can use to write
the donation off on your taxes for 2014.
Remember, there is strength in numbers. These women need a little help to regain
their independence, and the more of us who contribute even just a little, the
better their chances of success and survival.
Thank you for your contribution!
