Did you or your child attend Bright Beginnings Childcare off W. Main St? If so, you’ll remember the sweet owner, Sonja…she stopped by to discuss donations and to make her handprint in support of child abuse prevention! (FYI she’s also my awesome Step-Mom!) 💙

🐾 COMMUNITY HELP NEEDED 🐾

The Haven is seeking temporary foster care for a family who recently experienced homelessness after their landlord chose not to renew their lease at the end of May.

The family includes a hardworking single mother who is currently working two jobs and actively taking steps to regain stable housing. Unfortunately, our insurance does not allow pets on-site, and we are hoping our community can help keep this family together by caring for their beloved animals during this temporary transition.

The family has:
🐶 One 4-month-old Rottweiler mix puppy
🐱 Three short-haired cats

Ideally, we are looking for:
• One foster home willing to care for all four animals together, OR
• One foster for the puppy and another foster willing to keep the three cats together.

The family would like to remain involved in their pets' care and, when possible, visit them during the foster period.

We do not anticipate this being a long-term need. Mom is employed, motivated, and working hard to get her family back into housing as quickly as possible. We simply need a little community support to help bridge the gap.

Please share to help us find a safe, loving temporary home for these furry family members. ❤️

If you are interested in helping or would like more information, please contact The Haven directly. 828-877-2040 opt. 2. Sorry, we do not monitor Facebook actively, so calling is the best way to reach way.

The effects of domestic violence do not always end when the abuse stops.

Many survivors experience post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, hypervigilance, sleep disruption, and emotional trauma long after leaving unsafe situations. During PTSD Awareness Month, we want survivors to know that their reactions are valid, and healing support is available.

Center for Domestic Peace provides trauma-informed therapy, support groups, advocacy, and resources that help survivors rebuild a sense of safety, connection, and hope.

Healing is not linear, and no one should have to go through it alone.
