PAVE successfully raised over $28,000 to end 2008. With the help of our community and some very generous donors we helped bring our budget back on track. PAVE provided twice as many nights of shelter in 2008 as we did in 2007 and we are looking at high numbers already in the first month of 2009. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence reports that when there is high economic strain, the rate of intimate partner violence more than triples. We think this may have something to do with the numbers we are seeing in shelter.
Thank you to everyone that helped make our fundraising a success!
