Give the Gift of HOPE to Domestic Violence Victims and Their Children

The Operation for HOPE Micro-Emergency Loan Fund removes economic barriers to safety for domestic violence victims and their children. Rent, utilities, childcare - too many victims stay in abusive relationships because they don't have the resources to leave and start a new life. The HOPE Fund changes all that. By providing victims with small interest free loans, we can help them reach safety.  

What makes the HOPE Fund unique? 

• Quickly places resources into the hands of the victims; in a crisis within 24 - 48 hours
• As victims become survivors and thrive, they become contributors to the fund by repaying their loan to help other victims 

What is the maximum amount? Most loans are between the range of $50 - $400. 

Why do we ask for the loan to be paid back? Providing the opportunity to help others in similar situations can be empowering. People like to be able to give back.

What is the payback schedule: To be worked out with each client. 

What if it isn't paid back? The goal is to provide a hand rather than a hand out.

Funds received by the HOPE Fund go directly to helping domestic violence victims and their children. These are examples of ways you can help:  

• $100 to help pay for utilities
• $200 to ensure child care for a mother to work
• $500 to ensure medical care or immediate shelter
• $1,000 to be a HOPE Giving Angel – Angels will be highlighted on our website as a Member of the HOPE Giving Angel Circle  

Please join us in our fight of the silent abuser of poverty created by domestic violence.
