20 safe nights for survivors, starting early

Hi [First name],

Since you last gave, [Name] called our hotline late one night. A bag was packed while the kids slept, and [Name] needed somewhere safe to go by morning. Our team made sure a safe night was waiting.

On Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 for 20 safe nights of shelter for survivors and their children, at $50 a night.

Would you come back with an early gift? Early gifts help us build momentum before the day begins.
