************************************************* Dreams do
come true!! Becky’s Place had a dream for many years that we
not only would open a “safe house” for women, children, and men who were being
abused, but that one day we would own the “safe house”. Well, that dream came true! Due to a variety of circumstance, at the end
of 2020 Becky’s Place purchased a spacious 4-bedroom home with a large back
yard! Please join with us as we
celebrate this miracle!
We are currently in the process of major repair
work, have completed replacing all heating and plumbing, all electrical wiring
and purchased material to replace top portion of the roof.
We are blessed to live in such an amazing
community where men, women and teens have stepped up to volunteer their time
sheet rocking, mudding, and taping the walls, painting, laying new flooring…. The list goes on. What amazing, hardworking, compassionate, and
giving people. They are our
hero’s!! Each and every one holds a
special place in our hearts for their labor of love!
Please check out our photo section of the website
and see the progress being made.
Our love and appreciation to all who helped make
the completion of our “safe house” a reality!

************************************************
Our Vision: Our vision is to open a “safe house” in Haines, Alaska. We envision a large 4 to 5 bedroom home, where women and children can come to find safety, help, hope, and new beginnings for their future. Many women/children want to stay close to their schools, jobs and family members, while fleeing from an abusive situation. Becky’s Place will offer support, compassion, and non-judgmental help. We will be there to give choices and encouragement, allowing them to reclaim their ability to choose. Becky’s Place will help in numerous way, including but not limited to the following: a safe and secure environment, food, clothing, continuing education, job training, preparing a resume’, help to connect them with resources that will enable them to become independent and have a home of their own.
Immediate Needs: Raising funds to pay monthly expenses on our 2 bedroom "safe house", which we opened Sept. 2015. Our house will continue to provide safe shelter, food, clothing and medical assistance to victims of domestic violence.
Who we serve: We will offer help to any women/child that comes to our house, seeking refuge. All nationalities, religions, and faiths will be welcome.
