Why?

Sometimes a helping hand is what these women need to avoid a dangerous situation. Here is an excerpt from Sandra’s story:

“Afterwards, he threw me out on the streets in only my underwear; I did not even have any money. I was so scared and so cold that I began to shake and my mind went completely blank. Suddenly, a taxi cab stopped and the driver asked if I was fine, I could not say anything at all.  He took his jacket to cover me and kindly said that he would take me to a place where they would take care of me; he did not even charge me anything, and, that’s how I came to Nellie’s.”
