About this site
We are four undergraduate students at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. In our Violence Against Women class we were given an assignment to arouse community awareness about the issue of domestic violence. By creating this website, we hope to enlighten our community to the realism of domestic violence. We also desire for victims and survivors to find refuge in this site by reading stories of others who have suffered similar pain.May you live all the days of your life.

May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand. May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.
