Sponsor a Resident at Penny’s Place
Sponsor a family or a resident at Penny’s Place. Help provide for the essential needs of our residents. This includes shelter, utilities, food, clothing, medical care, counseling, educational & vocational training, legal resources and more. Your gift makes a huge difference! These are just some examples of the impact your gift can have on the life of a survivor. Browse our list of sponsorships to select a need you’d like to support.
$25 Can provide a meal
Many of these families come to our safe house from dire situations with little or no resources. For those without an income, we provide for their basic needs, including food, hygiene items and other necessities.
$50 Can provide clothing
Often women and their children fleeing domestic violence or trafficking arrive with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Sometimes they come from life threatening situations, fleeing through a small window of escape and bringing almost nothing with them.
$100 Can provide counseling
Each woman and child receives counseling with a trauma-informed therapist. Our mission is to provide psychological, social and spiritual support that allows for safety, stability, and good mental health for people transitioning out of abusive situations.
$250 Can help with medical needs
Survivors often arrive at our safe house in need of medical attention, and these costs can be significant. Your support can help survivors seek out emergency medical care, preventative care, and dental care.
$500 Can provide respite for Ofa
Ofa is our onsite manager at our safe house for women and children fleeing abuse, Penny’s Place. She is available 24/7 and faithfully serves the women and children with us. Respite care is an essential part of caring for her well.
$1,000 Can provide a computer
Penny’s Place is in need of a new client computer. Residents need access to a computer for a myriad of reasons, including but not limited to: assisting with educational needs, vocational training, and making arrangements for future planning.
$2,500 Can help with essential repairs
Penny’s Place offers our residents a safe place to call home. Your support helps us to keep up with essential repairs needed to keep a roof over our resident’s heads and create a warm and dry shelter. Right now we’re looking to do some roof and gutter maintenance to get us through the winter.
$5,000 Can provide advocacy
Once survivors settle into safety and stop living in crisis mode, they are able to focus on their children and their futures. Our advocates help people plan around their continued safety, finances, employment, job training, legal issues, childcare and permanent housing. They help to build bridges to healthy futures.
$10,000 Can house a family
Penny’s Place provides a safe home to women and their children fleeing domestic violence or trafficking. $10,000 can house a mother and 2 children for a year. Residents receive physical and emotional safety at a confidential address. When physical safety is assured, the healing journey can begin.
