When a family escapes violence, when a child smiles again after trauma, when a survivor finally feels hope — you are there.
Because of your generosity, 486 individuals received 9,416 personalized services last year at Wisconsin Rapids Family Center. 80 families found safe shelter — 5,309 nights free from violence and fear. We can’t share their real names, but every one of them has a story.
And you helped write it.
Your support offers more than shelter. It surrounds survivors with 24/7, trauma-informed advocacy: emotional support, legal advocacy, safe refuge — and healing.
Each day of advocacy costs $945.
Every $945 = 24 hours of safety, healing and empowerment:
-
Susie expressing her pain through art with the Child and Youth Services Coordinator
-
Joanna rebuilding her life during weekly case management meetings
-
Beth walking into court with an advocate by her side
-
The Nelsons creating healthy child and protective parent bonds on family night
-
Joe moving into a safe home with consistent encouragement from support group
Because of you, survivors don’t just survive — they rebuild — and thrive!
Let’s keep showing up, together. Every gift brings us closer to one more person finding safety, strength, and a new beginning.
Thank you for being the heart of our work.
You may never know their names — but your support represents safety, hope and a chance to heal.
With deep gratitude,
Tricia Fancher
Executive Director
Wisconsin Rapids Family Center
