It's wonderful to read of organizations going the extra mile to help abuse victims and their families feel safe.
The March 16, 2006, issue of the Wanstead and Woodford Guardian newspaper for East London and West Essex reported that victims of domestic violence are getting help to make their homes safe from intruders. Funded by Waltham Forest Council through the Sanctuary Project, homes are inspected by a crime prevention officer and then building contractors complete the work necessary to make the property secure.
Thirty properties have been made secure since April, 2005. Thirty families -- Moms and their children -- are now able to go to sleep at night feeling safe.
Another positive step in helping victims and their children continue living near their families, friends and other support networks, helping them rebuild their lives and recover from the abuse they've received.
