From Fear to Strength - Nancy's Story
|
 Nancy's life was torn apart by the years of pain and suffering she and her children experienced. Last fall - terrified and expecting a new baby - Nancy found The Redwood.
Your amazing support has helped Nancy to feel safe and to begin her life again. Her family's holiday season at The Redwood was made so special by caring donors like you. Nancy and her family have started the new year with hope and excitement... they are getting ready to move into their brand new home!

#IWD2015 Celebrating Powerful Women for International Women's Day!
|
 We were blown away by the powerful response to our International Women's Day campaign!
John shared this beautiful tribute in honour of Women on the Move graduate Ana...
"Last year, I was incredibly moved by Ana's story and the fact that I was able to honour her AND the amazing donors and supporters of The Redwood was a standout moment in my career.
It is with complete pleasure that today I made a gift in honour of Ana as a part of #IWD2015"
Your photos and tributes have brightened our hallway and warmed our hearts. Thank you for celebrating #IWD2015 with us!
Take a look back at the day John met Ana and heard her story.

 Our friends, the incredibly talented musicians of Crooked House Road, thrilled the audience with their terrific concert with proceeds benefiting The Redwood!
Thank you for your inspiring support! It is so amazing to have such a dedicated community of friends, donors, and volunteers. Thank you for all the hard work that you do to help us raise awareness about violence against women and helping women find safety when they need it the most.

Your Most Special Days Are Helping Women and Children Leaving Violence!
|
Celebrations are how we make our lives' most important moments feel extra special. You can choose to make a gift to The Redwood in celebration of your wedding, birthday, retirement, or anniversary! What a beautiful way to include women and children leaving violence in your celebrations.
 "When we got engaged we felt rich with the love of family and friends and wanted for nothing.
We asked that in lieu of gifts that people make a donation to our favourite charities.
Everyone was thrilled to
be able to support
The Redwood and for us,
it was a meaningful way
to give back to the community in which we live."
-Board member Joe Simons (picture right) and her wife Sue.
