Resource and safe place for women and children who experience domestic violence
Alice, Julia, Jacqueline, Kate,
You’re not alone.
You’re not apart from everyone else.
You are a part of the whole,
A part of our community,
Our family.
Apart is scary.
Vulnerable.
Ashamed.
Apart can’t speak up.
Apart thinks she’s the only one.
Marguerite, Maria, Martha, Meg,
We’re with you.
We’re Sarah’s Inn.
We’re together, with you.
Together is courage.
Pride.
Guts.
Together is safe.
Together is strong.
Sarah’s Inn stands for strength.
For families.
For you.
For working together
for freedom from domestic violence.
For our children,
Everything is possible.
Love.
Discovery.
Success.
We teach our kids to crawl and walk and run, to look both ways,
to paint with their fingers and clean up their messes,
to look people in the eye and tell the truth, to always say thank you,
And, all the while, we are teaching
our sons and daughters how to treat other people.
If we teach our sons to be strong men
And our daughters to be strong women,
We can build strong families
For their children.
Lucy, Sofia, Clara, Gabriela,
You are not alone
Because we stand together.
Because you have the right
to the dignity of love and respect.
Because you are –
We are, each and every one of us –
Mom, Dad, brother, daughter, neighbor -
A valuable part of this community.
Caring and connected.
Let’s stand together to protect our families.
To preserve hope
And restore potential.
So our children love and feel loved,
So they discover and succeed.
For their children.
For you.
Sarah’s Inn.
Together Strong.
