A little self-care can go a long way! 🫶🏻

Gerdau hand delivered care packages for the survivors we serve, each thoughtfully put together with items to provide extra comfort and care.

These kits are a meaningful way to remind survivors that they have a community standing behind them. Thank you, Gerdau, for supporting survivors and AWARE. 💜

We wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to Professional Women in Building of Jackson, Hillsdale & Lenawee for their incredible Pack a Purse initiative. Through their generosity, purses filled with essential items were donated to the shelter, providing both practical support and a meaningful reminder of the care this community has for our mission.

We are so grateful for their compassion and generosity and the many ways they continue to give back and support survivors! 💜👜

We are deeply grateful to Georgia and Travis Fojtasek for their extraordinary generosity and unwavering commitment to survivors.

Through their meaningful investment in AWARE, they are helping ensure that survivors in our community have access to service when they need it most. This support goes far beyond a financial contribution. It reflects a shared belief that survivors deserve safety, support, and the opportunity to move forward with hope. The continued commitment of the Georgia and Travis Fojtasek Legacy Fund strengthens our ability to provide critical services and create positive, lasting change.

We are incredibly thankful for their partnership, their trust in our mission, and most importantly, their dedication to supporting survivors. 💜

August Top Needs 💙

This month, one of our biggest needs is cell phones. Having access to a phone can be an important tool for survivors as they work toward safety, stability, and independence.

Along with cell phones, we are also in need of the items listed in our August Top Needs. Every donation, big or small, helps us provide essential resources to those we serve.

Thank you for continuing to support our shelter and the individuals and families who rely on our services. 💜
