Adopt a Room

Meriden-Wallingford Chrysalis (Chrysalis) provides crisis intervention, support services, self-sufficiency programs, safety planning, court-based and systems advocacy to victims and survivors of domestic violence and their children through community-based and housing programs. 

 During the second half of 2016, Chrysalis learned about a defective lead paint issue at one of their SafeHouses.  Six months and well over $30,000 later, the lead paint issue has been resolved and the house has met all clearance standards.  However, in order to successfully complete the work, many items in the shelter needed to be thrown away.  This leaves the home healthy but bare.  It’s missing some furniture, some decorative touches, and some of the warmth that makes a house, however short-term, a home.

 CT Working Moms has partnered with Chrysalis to adopt their SafeHouse(s) and to provide the finishing touches to turn their houses back into welcoming, safe and comfortable homes.  You can support us by donating through this page. 

 No gift is too small, and each one matters.
