Give the Gift of Independence

Every July we commemorate our Nation’s Independence Day, but at Chrysalis, Independence Day has a very different meaning.  Each day of the year, we are celebrating the independence women and children find from domestic violence.   Through Chrysalis Programs, women and children are able to live abuse free lives. The challenging economic climate certainly makes the road to independence more difficult. There are times she wants to turn back or give up. Remind her that she is not alone; that someone believes in her.

Give her the gift that celebrates HER day of independence.

With a donation of $75, the 2009 Chrysalis Butterfly Print will be given to a woman in one of Chrysalis ’ programs to honor her independence. This commemorative piece will be a lasting symbol in her home of her newfound freedom. Ultimately, your donation assures that future women and children will find their independence within the safe walls of Chrysalis.

With each gift, you can also include a special note of encouragement to the recipient.

In her own words:

What independence means to me . . .

"I have a much greater sense of independence since my stay with Chrysalis. It is wonderful to have the freedom to make my own decisions without intimidation or coercion." - Rebecca*

"I have learned more about myself during my time at Chrysalis, than in my entire adult life. I feel well blessed and lucky to have been given this opportunity to heal, grow and actualize my potential." - Susan*

"Being here I was given another chance at a better life and for once in a long time I was happy." - Alicia*
