Many of the women we serve are able to heal and recover in our day program with the job, education, and counseling we provide at the Mercy Workshop, but some need 24-hour care in a residential setting. They need rest, safety, and healing from the trauma and abuse they encountered.
Be part of their rest. Their safety. Their healing.
