5 months volunteering, plus prior service
The reason I chose to work in the domestic violence movement is because, as a
survivor of domestic violence, it's very important to me to give back
what was given to me by Gateway. I believe I wouldn't even be here today if it weren't for Gateway.
The reason I want to help women and children who are victims of
domestic violence is because DV can be a silent killer -- it was for
me. It's very important to me to create more awareness, so that
all women and children know there is a place where they can turn to for help.
As a Gateway client, my favorite memory was my first session
at Gateway
- the feeling of total acceptance and help. Now as a volunteer,
my favorite memories have been the moments when I've been speaking with
the women at the transition house - loved every minute of it!
