“[The] VIDA attorney…is an incredible person. A lot of stress went away. Getting my citizenship, although I don’t know what I want to study, means I can go to school one day and do something.”
-Son of Survivor of Domestic Violence

“…two months after being here my husband was attacked. They tried to kill him. VIDA helped me, they were tremendous people. Now I sell Mary Kay products and I also sell baskets.

VIDA changes lives.”

“To my Angels of Hope:  People like you are God’s Angels. Thank you so much for all your help through all the years.  You will always be in my heart.”
-Survivor of Domestic Violence

“There is always a bit of fear because it means you are exposing yourself to the authorities. I myself made the decision of seeking help because I realized that I was living under an abusive relationship…that was what finally gave me the determination to get help. Getting legal status opened many doors for me.
