Mission & Purpose:
Women of Worth assists victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. We help out clients rebuild their lives to live with dignity, hope and in safety. We collaborate with others to offer shelter, counseling and support to help our clients increase their self reliance skills and have a better quality of life.
Success Story: Women of Worth offers shelter for women during an initial emergency time of crisis and then provides continuing services and support as our clients rebuild their lives. The shelter is named Hetty’s Haven, in honor of Hetty Williams who was shot to death by her husband of twenty years with high-powered nail gun.
The shelter includes practice assistance and support services, including: counseling, advocacy, support groups, life skills, mentoring, assistance with schooling and/or re-entry to the the work force, transitional housing, furniture and personal items. Hetty’s Haven is a “safe house”which is key to helping women rebuild lives that have been stricken by domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. Once women have the serenity of a peaceful environment and access to crucial personal services, they are more likely to advance into a stable life, re-entering society with self-confidence and the tools needed to make that progression easier. We are pleased that we can help victims become “survivors and over-comers,” because Every Woman is a Woman of Worth!
