Project Lilac Partners

Our founder believes in 'fresh starts' as she is one of our nation's domestic violence survivors. Project Lilac has a goal to launch survivors with new bedding - a fresh start in a safe home!

Social Responsibility Mission statement – Everyone deserves a safe and healthy home. 

Partnership – We have established a relationship with the Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation which currently serves the domestic violence community for identification/selection of persons in need, distribution of donated product, and collaboration on special programs to support survivors.

Purpose – Survivors need a fresh start, and often will leave their abusive location with a few belongings and the clothes on their back. We aim to find a way to rebuild dignity and self-esteem so that these brave survivors will have a healthy sleep. And families of victims can also find support or a way to provide for others. Domestic violence is an epidemic that affects 1 in 4 families - and it can be hard to leave - and survivors will tell you that the first 72 hours are the most dangerous. 

Power and Control – When you understand Domestic Violence, you realize that it is not only physical, verbal and emotional abuse - but abusers also use many other ways to 'keep someone in their place' - and at some point, when you decide to leave, they are angry because their 'possession' has made a decision without them - and they have lost control. Authorities are beginning to understand that the 'calm' abuser can often present well in a crisis, while the 'emotional' victim is not calm or buttoned up. If they are not adequately trained in domestic violence scenarios, they will misread the situation.
