Help Families Like *Clara Find Hope and Stability

June 24, 2025

At Safe & Sound, we believe every family deserves safety, support, and the opportunity to build a brighter future. Families facing crisis—whether from domestic violence, financial hardship, or other challenges—turn to us for essential resources and compassionate care. With your help, we can continue to provide life-changing support to parents and children in need.

Clara’s Story: Strength in the Face of Adversity

A poignant example of how Safe & Sound can intervene is Clara’s family. Clara, a single mother of twin daughters with epilepsy, faced unimaginable struggles when she left an abusive relationship. Her daughters were six months old, and due to their health issues, Clara couldn’t work. She was overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn for help. Luckily, she found Safe & Sound.

Safe & Sound welcomed her with open arms, immediately inviting her to join one of our parenting groups. This was the beginning of her journey with us. Through the group, Clara became more engaged with the organization and took part in a variety of activities that provided not only emotional support but also essential resources. Our programs helped her navigate the complexities of her new life, offering everything from food, diapers and hygiene supplies to access to crucial financial support for housing. She found a safe space in our Playroom, where her daughters could laugh and play while she focused on stabilizing her home and becoming a better parent. Our care coordinators connected her with legal support, parenting groups, and even a yoga instructor certification program, helping her regain confidence and build a better future.

Today, thanks to your generosity, Clara has secured full custody of her children and is stepping into a future filled with confidence and determination. With the strength she always had but that Safe & Sound helped unearth, she is ready to build a bright, stable life for her daughters—one where they can thrive, and she can provide for them independently, knowing she has the resilience and skills to navigate any challenge ahead.

“Safe & Sound has given us more than support—they have given us a family, a place of healing, and a future filled with possibility. Their kindness and dedication have changed our lives forever.” – Clara
