Please remember WISH By Vivian Benson December 09, 2013
During the holiday season of giving please remember Women In Safe Homes (WISH). WISH provides safe shelter and support services for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and works to increase community safety and awareness on topics of violence against women and children. The good news is that each of us can make a difference! We can educate ourselves and learn to listen and respond helpfully to someone in an unsafe situation. We can donate time or money to support our community members during times of trauma and need. We can join WISH to make sure essential services remain available in Ketchikan and Southern Southeast Alaska. The statistics from the recent UAA Victimization survey emphasize the necessity of retaining these services in our community. More than ever, your tax-deductible financial contribution to WISH plays an important role in making it possible for us to ensure the voices of the abused women and children are heard. WISH appreciates all levels of donations and, if you’re not already a member, we invite you to join. Membership fees or donations can be mailed to WISH at PO Box 6552, Ketchikan, AK 99901 or dropped off at 2002 First Avenue. Membership levels - fees

This is just a sample of WISH’s work. We couldn’t do it without you! If you have questions or suggestions please visit our website at www.wishak.org or contact WISH at 907-228-4099. On behalf of the WISH staff, board members, volunteers, and the women, children and men we serve, thank you for your support. We wish you and yours a healthy, joyful and peaceful holiday season and New Year. Vivian Benson
