To complete a house of refuge for women

For the last 13 years my husband and I have been building a house of refuge, to rescue women and their children suffering from domestic violence and trafficking. We are building the house in a country where women and children in this situation find it extremely difficult to escape the misery that they find themselves in. We are in the last stages of completing the house, and want to finish it as soon as possible as we are aware of many women and their children who need it. We also want our house to be used as a day centre for disabled children. We have 18 rooms in the house, plus 8 rooms in the basement that still require a lot of work to make useable. We have never asked anyone for money in the years we have been building the house, although family and friends have been very generous in supporting us over the years. The reason we are doing this now is so that we can finish the house as soon as possible so it can be a home for the women and children that need it. If you feel that you would like to support us, no matter how small, we would be extremely grateful.
