Personal message

Hello everyone,

I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, as Sisters Incorporated, a women's shelter that has been a beacon of hope and safety for countless women and their children, is at risk of closure due to funding challenges. I am launching this BackaBuddy campaign to rally support and ensure that this vital sanctuary continues its mission of providing refuge to those in desperate need.

My Personal Connection:
When I was just 13 years old, my life took a drastic turn for the better when my mother made the courageous decision to take my two brothers and me to Sisters Incorporated. It was a sanctuary that became our safe haven, our refuge from the storm. That decision changed our lives, providing us with a space that was not only safe but also nurturing. Sisters Incorporated became our home for a year, giving us the strength and support needed to rebuild our lives. A space free from judgement and filled with care.

The Impact of Sisters Incorporated:
Sisters Incorporated has been serving our community for an incredible 60 years, addressing the grave issue of Gender-Based Violence (GBV). In the midst of the current pandemic, the need for such safe spaces has become even more critical. The shelter has been a steadfast ally in the fight against GBV, offering support, counseling, and refuge to countless women who have faced unimaginable challenges.

The Threat of Closure:
The ongoing funding challenges have put Sisters Incorporated in a precarious position. The thought of this vital institution closing its doors is not only heartbreaking but also terrifying for the countless vulnerable women who may be left without one less sanctuary in this country.

How You Can Help:
I am reaching out to you, my friends, family, and community, to join hands in ensuring that Sisters Incorporated continues its noble mission. Your support can make a significant difference. Every donation, no matter how small, will contribute to keeping the doors of Sisters Incorporated open.

Donate: Your financial contribution will directly support the shelter's operational costs, ensuring that they can continue providing shelter, counseling, and support services to those in need.

Spread the Word: Share this campaign with your network. Let's raise awareness about the critical situation Sisters Incorporated is facing and inspire others to contribute.

Sisters Incorporated has been a cornerstone of support for women and children in our community for six decades. Let's come together to ensure that it doesn't become another casualty of the challenging times we face. Your generosity and compassion can help safeguard this invaluable resource and continue the legacy of Sisters Incorporated for as long as GBV remains a presence in our society. 

Thank you for your support in preserving the sanctuary that has changed lives for decades.
