These are the non-profit organizations that I whole heartedly believe in. As a survivor of a brutal father, having been kidnapped by him and watching him abuse my mother–those organizations which empower women and children, which educate them, and offer them support and a stable platform from which they can safely exit menacing environments and provide the tools and resources that can help them shape new lives are the organizations that I support and would ask you to spend time reviewing.

You can read my biography to understand me better, why I support such causes.
