A heartfelt thank you to Cheryl Lemley for her thoughtful donation of roses for the mothers staying in WAVI’s shelter this Mother’s Day.

Small acts of kindness create meaningful moments of comfort, care, and encouragement for survivors and their children. We are so grateful for community members like Cheryl who help remind the families we serve that they are valued and supported.

Thank you for helping make Mother’s Day extra special.

Some days healing looks like rest, and others it looks like asking for help.
Some days it simply looks like making it through the day. No matter where you are in your journey, your courage matters.

WAVI is here to provide safety, support, advocacy, and hope for survivors and their children.

If you or someone you know needs support, contact WAVI.
