Violence against women and children is a reality in our society.

The Victoria Women’s Transition House Society provides clients with a community and a team so that no woman or child need walk alone, or feel fear to stand up tall and claim their right to live a life free of violence. The healing journey can be lonely and daunting.

August 7, I was hit by a truck and suffered major injuries. Though tragic and painful, many endure much worse pain as a result of abuse in our community. I am choosing, on October 11, to support the Mission Transition Team in honour and support of all of our clients.

Please join me, take a stand, be part of our community, and help us end violence.
