4 the JEWEL N U

• We provide self-defense classes through our Jewel 'N Defense Quarterly Classes, to include resources and education as it relates to Teen Dating Violence, Human Trafficking, Early Detection of Abuse.
• We provide Mental Health service through partnership with local licensed professional counselors in which victims need to live a healthy and productive lifestyle. This referral program allows victims of abuse (past or present) to access individual counseling at no cost or affordable counseling services.
• We offer transitional support in the areas of providing gas cards, bus passes, emergency hotel stay, and personal hygiene items from our Karing Hygiene Kloset. We provide community educational workshops, in Chatham County and surrounding counties in an effort to unite as one voice to speak up and against domestic violence.
• We develop positive, confidential lasting relationships with victorious victims on the road to survivorship in hope to live a life free from abuse.   
• Our holistic, community-based approach to help victims in the areas of economic and financial independence, personal development, continuing education, job preparation, entrepreneurship, health and wellness makes us dedicated to our mission.
• The results of our dedicated support will not only assist single mothers, women of domestic violence or sexual assault, but guardians of children who were affected by the death of a love one due to violence.  
• We are not a shelter. 
• We are 100% volunteer-based. 

The services we provide are made possible by donors that believe in our mission. Help us provide the support that survivors and families need.

• Awww Karen this has made my day. Only if they all knew where and how u started this movement.... Because this is a movement meaning its going to move from city to city, coast to coast, and country to country in Jesus name. As I see this post it gives me courage, hope, a new level of humbleness, and boldness. U never gave up, u spoke with force, and u waited your turn. I bless God for you and this moment. Continue to walk and speak for her.  Written by: Tina Tina, Savannah, GA

• I did not know where to go just so someone would just listen and my cousin gave me your number, thank you for just listening and answering my calls no matter what time of night or day.  I am not free, but I am getting there because of your encouragement and reminding me who I am, not only to myself but my 4 children.
