Hope Ranch family,
For us to “Embrace Hope Change a Life” many obstacles have to be overcome. Why do victims struggle to seek help?
- Captivity, confinement, isolation. Victims have been locked in rooms, trunks of cars, and other inappropriate places and isolated from friends and family. They don’t know who they can trust.
- Use and threat of violence. Victims and their loved ones have been beaten, raped, tortured, assaulted and threatened.
- Fear, shame, self-blame, hopelessness. Victims have been so traumatized that they blame themselves for their abuse and/or see no way out of the situation.
- Dependency. A trauma bond develops between victims and perpetrators.
Our desire is to help foster healing and freedom, from the evil horrors these women have experienced.
I am looking forward to our event on August 17, and I hope you will join us at the Hyatt Regency Hotel!
