The Voice of Victims
Editor,
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and as I tied purple ribbons on the fence at Harbor House I thought about each victim or child they represent. I remember their faces.I hear their voices echoing their stories.I remember their pain, their sorrows, their smiles and their laughter.I remember their words.Words that barely described the suffering.Words accentuated by tears.Contrasting words that brought joy to their faces.Inspirational words of peace.Healing words shared with other survivors.
Thank You Letter
CADV & Harbor House ~
Thank you for a safe, loving place to stay along with all of your genuine help.
Thank you for food, shelter, clothes, toiletries, lock change, advocacy, your smiles to balance my tears, the meetings, confidence building, and your part in my healing.
Gratefully,
K.

I never realized being a survivor could be so much work. I didn’t have a hard time speaking out about my child abuse, even though it cost me to lose my family. I didn’t have a problem pointing out my domestic abuse partners, even though I was aware that at any moment they might hunt me down, but there was one I couldn’t tell. I couldn’t share too much. Too many powerful people were involved and that fear was just too much for me to risk. I’ll just tell you that my name is: Dai, I’m an American and have been in the US for nearly 28 years. I am 30 years old and for the first time, I’m going to share “my story” of human trafficking.
