Control Alt Delete

💜She deserved to live in peace.

After more than 40 years of domestic violence and isolation, one Survivor was finally free. Then she learned she may have only 3–6 weeks left to live.

What happened next is a powerful reminder that it is never too late to escape domestic violence, reclaim your voice, and experience peace.

Read her story. 💚
Then share it. Someone needs to know they are not alone.

“I watched my children’s whole demeanor change when their father came in. They are teens… how long had I not noticed?”

Those words from a recent Control Alt Delete Survivor are heartbreaking—and incredibly powerful.

Sometimes, surviving domestic violence means simply getting through the next day. You may be focused on keeping the peace, protecting your children, or making it through the moment. You may not realize how much everyone has been affected until you finally have the space to see it.

And when that realization comes, it is not too late to escape.

Don’t spend your next chapter focused on what you should have seen or what you wish you had done differently.

Build a new life.
Build a peaceful life.
Build a life free from abuse.

Your children deserve to know what safety feels like. And so do you. ❤️

Control Alt Delete provides immediate, one-time assistance to help Survivors remove the barriers standing between them and safety.

Escape is possible. Peace is possible. A new life is possible.

🚨💙 WE JUST GAVE OUT OUR LAST GIFT CARD! 💙🚨

And that means we need YOUR help replenishing this critical resource for Survivors escaping domestic violence.

BRING A GIFT CARD TO OUR 7 YEARS OF SAVING LIVES CELEBRATION AND GET RAFFLE TICKETS FOR EVERY $1 OF THE GIFT CARD! 🎟️💙

Here’s how it works:

⛽ $10 gas gift card = 10 raffle tickets
🍔 $25 fast-food gift card = 25 raffle tickets
🛒 $50 grocery store gift card = 50 raffle tickets

It’s that simple!

Why are gift cards so important?

When a Survivor is traveling to safety, we provide fast-food gift cards so they and their children can eat along the way. 🍔🥤

Gas gift cards help Survivors put fuel in their vehicles and escape their abuser—because sometimes the difference between being trapped and getting to safety is having enough gas to leave. ⛽🚗

And grocery store gift cards are especially important for senior Survivors, giving them the ability to purchase groceries as they escape and begin moving toward safety. 🛒💙

These aren't just gift cards.

They are food. They are fuel. They are choices. They are freedom.

And now you can help replenish this desperately needed resource AND receive raffle tickets for our 7 Years of Saving Lives Celebration! 🎉

🧡 More Than a Quilt…

We are incredibly grateful for the amazing supporters who coordinate handmade quilts for the Survivors we help escape domestic violence.

To a Survivor, these quilts are so much more than a blanket.

It is something the abuser has never touched.
Something that belongs completely to them.
Something they can wrap around themselves and feel comforted and safe.

Every Survivor is grateful for this incredible gift. And many have actually cried when they are shown such kindness.

In the middle of fear, uncertainty, and the overwhelming emotions of escaping abuse, these quilts are a tangible reminder that someone cares.

A reminder that they matter.
A reminder that they are worthy of kindness.
A reminder that their life belongs to them now.

Thank you for every stitch, every hour, and every bit of love sewn into these beautiful quilts. You are giving Survivors a blessing they will never forget. 💜
