Way to Work: Help A Survivor Buy a Car
Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to support Ohio Domestic Violence Network's campaign to help a formerly incarcerated domestic violence survivor get a car to have a safe way to work. ODVN will MATCH ALL GIFTS up to $2500. After years of being severely abused by her husband, Carmen (not her real name) killed him and was incarcerated for 26 years in a women's prison in Ohio. Carmen was one of 23 women assisted by a clemency and parole project ODVN founded with the Ohio Justice and Policy Center and Ohio Public Defender in 2016. She is the fourth woman in the project to win her freedom. The Ohio Parole Board released Carmen in July of 2021 and she already has a job, and is lining up permanent housing. Carmen rides her bike to her job in the food service industry, a plan that can't last with the coming winter weather. Carmen needs a car in January to get to work, and to expand her job opportunities, make better wages and continue rebuilding her life. ANY donation will help make an impact and will be matched by ODVN up to $2500.

Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

ODVN is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) agency. Contributions are Tax Deductible to the Extent Allowed by Law.

Organized by Ohio Domestic Violence Network
ODVN's LifeSaver Fund
In my 20 years as an advocate, I’ve seen first-hand how helping domestic violence survivors deal with emergency expenses can be the best way to keep them from returning to their abusers.

You can help the Ohio Domestic Violence Network keep more survivors on the road to self-sufficiency by donating to our LifeSaver Fund during the month of October. Every penny we raise will be used to provide direct assistance to survivors and their children.

We feel an extra sense of urgency about our fundraiser this year.

For the third year in a row, ODVN’s most important funding source – our Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) grant – will be cut substantially – by 41%. That means the number of families who receive assistance through our Relocation and Legal Assistance programs could be cut by more than a third. Last year those programs served 1,572 survivors and 673 children.

If you can’t make a donation, please help spread the word by sharing our fundraiser on social media.

I appreciate anything you can do to help!
