“I’m happy that I made
the choice to stay.
Because look where I’m
at today. I have a savings
account. I’m looking into
buying a house. I have all
this help and resources
that I didn’t have."

"Women have a
better chance to secure
freedom and protect
themselves from
violence, from abuse,
from injustice, if they
are well-educated and
know their rights."

“Before I got here, I would
get my kids this and that.
But then taking these
[financial literacy] classes,
you learn you can save
and you can budget.
You can use your
money wisely.”
