Our Refugee Family Services Living in Safety project really needs your help!
Our Spring 2009 campaign will provide $15,000 to help refugee women in Atlanta escape domestic violence.  We've already sent $11,100 to Refugee Family Services, of which $5,555 came from our generous donors.  In addition, a donation of $250 has already been received for our anticipated international project in the Fall.

We do realize that times are tight this year, and we are extremely grateful for your help on this project.  We're aiming for $7,500 from our generous donors -- and that goal is looking a long way off.  If you're not yet on the team, we would love your help.  You can mail a check or make a secure donation through PayPal:
