Mission Statement: “Our mission is to provide shelter and assistance to women & children who have been subjected to Domestic Violence or Sexual Abuse. To offer hope, help, restore dignity and give them back the power of choice”.
Becky’s Place is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Corporation.
*************************
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.
