Community Link has been serving the Charlotte community since 1929. Our flagship program is Travelers Aid which helps people escape domestic violence by providing free travel vouchers to a safe haven elsewhere in the country.
Recently, our staff worked with a single mom and her 5 young children to help the family escape domestic violence. The family came to us with all their items in trash bags- their abuser had thrown out many of their items in an attempt to keep them from fleeing. We are able to give them some luggage and a few duffle bags, plenty of toys for the children, and each family member received a blanket for their long journey.
Their trip will take about 40 hours to reach a safe haven with family. If you've ever traveled with young children, then you can empathize with this family. Please, make a difference and donate to Community Link today. We wouldn't be able to do this work without you! $5,000 can support 15-20 travel vouchers depending on the destination.
