A Home for Her is a nonprofit organization that directly assists women affected by domestic violence, and those returning home from incarceration. The population of women affected by these circumstances are severely underserved in the Columbia community. This is the problem we provide a comprehensive solution to. The mission of 'A Home for Her,' is to provide, "a safe space for women to build, thrive, and grow." However, we cannot do it alone. Your donation will go to the purchase of our first, 'A Home for Her.' To be able to provide shelter for those who will potentially become homeless is a nescessity. Currently space is unavailable in the Boone County area. Please help us to do this much needed work. It is needed to give a voice, and a chance, to those who often feel they have neither.

Our organization helps women affected by domestic violence and those transitioning from prison. We are able to address their unique needs, those related to their children and their trauma
We work directly with mental health counseling providers to provide
comprehensive support. Our main services include providing safehousing, therapy, and mentorship programs to guide our clients toward new paths. We utilize our community network to provide college classes, trade skills, case management, and transportation.

Sometimes people need a landing pad. A time of respite to recover, heal, and ultimately grow.

This is A Home for Her.

Our women upon graduation, will be able to embody and have the futures they genuinely deserve.

In 2008, I found myself in prison for second-degree murder, after a series of bad decisions that included drug addiction and staying in an abusive relationship. That abuse led me to shooting my abuser, and more than 14 years in jail.

Released in September of 2022, my subsequent story of transformation, is one that I want other women to know that they too are capable of, equipped for, and loved enough, that they too can have that success!
