Homes of Hope for Victims In Domestic Abuse, Inc.
Many times women that are victims in domestic abuse have to return to the spouse after trying to get away because they have no where to go after the one month in the shelter. They have been controlled to the point that they have no job skills, no access to money and no self-esteem or confidence. They need a place to live while they develop life skills.
Homes of Hope for VIDA will provide a home for the hurting family for two years. This will give the mother the time she needs to develop job skills so that she can provide for herself and children. The family will also be developing life skills such as banking, managing time and efforts, organizing, and other skills most of us take for granted. They will also be working on coping skills. There will be anger, fear, uncertainty and many other issues that will need to be addressed. All of this and more will be accomplished with the personal assistance of a trained mentor.
A mentor is a person that will serve as a teacher or trusted counselor; a wise and trusted guide and adviser. They will spend quality time with the client as they are going through the process of gaining the tools needed to be self reliant. This will be with the realization that we all rely on the Lord Jesus our Savior through all of life experiences
As with most organizations, Homes of Hope for VIDA began with this need; a need that was not met through any community or government program.
VIDA in Spanish means "life." It also stands for Victims In Domestic Abuse...victims who desperately need hope and and a safe future for their life.
Please read our Vision and Purpose Statements and help us make this hope a reality in Tehama and Shasta Counties of California.
