The Roma Fanton Fund will raise money to defray the costs of transitional shelters and support services for women attempting to end the cycle of domestic violence.  

"I want to thank you for your passion, commitment and devotion to Emerge and the women and children in our program.  For more than ten years you have been a driving force in raising awareness and funds to benefit our cause.   You’ve opened your home, your heart and your unlimited resources to support our work.  You have played a major role in Emerge’s unique approach to give families the time needed to deal with and accelerate the healing process from the trauma they have endured.  The women have the opportunity to work on rediscovering their inner strength and courage while dealing with their fears and understanding their self-worth.  Your concern for the children’s well-being and having a safe place to call home is immeasurable. You’ve given so much of yourself to make sure women and children know that they matter and for that I am forever grateful.

Every time I think of you my heart is filled with an abundance of love.  You are a true humanitarian and I am so very proud of you. Roma, you will always have a special place in my heart and your generosity will never be forgotten."

Donna M. Jackson, Executive Director Emerge
