House of Helping Hands: A Safe Harbor for Domestic Abuse Survivors
House of Helping Hands is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit standing firmly with survivors of domestic violence. Our mission is simple yet urgent: to offer real support, renewed strength, and practical resources so every survivor can break free and build a life defined by safety and hope.
The Silent Crisis Touching Lives All Around Us
1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men will experience physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime. Look around you—if you have five friends, statistically at least one has been affected. Domestic abuse isn’t “someone else’s problem.” It’s happening to people we love, right now.
Why Leaving Isn’t as Simple as “Just Walk Away”
Survivors aren’t weak—they’re trapped in a web deliberately woven to keep them stuck. Here are the five most common reasons victims stay:
1. Financial Trapped – Many survivors have no access to money, credit, or job prospects. Leaving can mean immediate homelessness.
2. Total Isolation – Abusers systematically cut off friends, family, and support systems, leaving victims believing they have nowhere to turn.
3. Trauma Bonding & Learned Helplessness – Years of manipulation create a psychological tie that feels unbreakable.
4. Shattered Self-Worth – Constant belittling erodes confidence until survivors believe they don’t deserve better.
5. Fear of Worse Violence – The most dangerous time for a victim is when they try to leave. Many stay because they genuinely fear they—or their children—will be killed.
The Invisible Wounds Run Deepest
Not every scar is visible. Emotional, psychological, sexual, and financial abuse can destroy a person long after the physical bruises fade. But healing is possible—and it starts with believing survivors deserve freedom.
This Is How We Help Them Reclaim Their Lives
At House of Helping Hands, we meet survivors exactly where they are and walk with them toward independence. We offer:
- Emotional Healing & Stability – Trauma-informed counseling and peer support to rebuild trust in themselves and the world.
- Pathways to Financial Freedom – Job training, emergency financial aid, credit building, and help securing safe housing.
- True Empowerment – Workshops, mentorship, and advocacy that restore confidence and remind survivors of their strength.
