Safety should never mean leaving someone you love behind.

For survivors of domestic violence, escaping abuse can mean an impossible choice: leave a beloved pet behind or remain in danger.

At Urban Resource Institute (URI), our pioneering People & Animals Living Safely (PALS) program ensures survivors can find safety without leaving their pets behind. Because pets are family, too.

Since launching PALS in 2013, I've seen firsthand how keeping families together can restore hope and transform lives. But too many survivors still face this impossible choice.

I'm raising $10,000 for PALS by December 31, and I'm asking you to join me. Whether through a leadership gift, a personal contribution, or sharing this campaign with your network, you can help more families find safety and healing together.

Please join me. Give safety. Keep families together.
