Make a Difference!

Recently, while volunteers were dropping off gift baskets, a resident asked if she could say something. After receiving encouragement to share, she broke out in song and SANG “His eye is on the sparrow”. In awe of her and her beautiful trembling voice, the volunteers and staff stood in awe as she began to cry trying to sing “I sing because I’m happy”! With the resident in joyful tears, a Refuge for Women staff member multiplied the moment by picking up where the resident had left off and singing the song. We stood in awe of the transformed life before us! NONE of this would be possible without your support!

Do not miss the impact of your generosity in 2022 or the impact that newer donors and volunteers will have in the lives of women for years to come! There is movement in the Bluegrass as the Lord is continuing to expand our reach, to reach MORE women, throughout Kentucky!

YOU can be a part of providing for:

The ONE that is traumatized.
The ONE that is oppressed.
The ONE that is in desperate need of safety.
The ONE that Jesus wants to meet!

Help us get the word out about the ONE Campaign by sharing and using #TheRefugeOne and #RefugeForWomen.
