“...This was the first time I experienced an episode of physical violence. The sheriff’s deputy that took the report suggested I go to SPARCC. I went and the advocate I saw was amazing. She also provided a kind smile and an attitude that said ‘I really care about
you and you have been through a lot.’ Sometimes the simple act of being validated by someone, a stranger, can be what you need to keep going and fighting to live!!!! Thank you SPARCC for the amazing things you do for abused women and men. SPARCC is a God send. Made possible by donors like you. Thank you.”
