Natalie's Story

In 2016, Natalie and her 5 year-old daughter came to Sojourner. Natalie was in shock. She felt she’d done everything right and wondered how she wound up at a domestic abuse shelter. Her healing journey took time and a lot of hard work, and thanks to your support, Sojourner was with her every step of the way.

Fast forward to today … Natalie is focused on living an intentional and purposeful life — and on giving back to others in a very big way.

Your support spreads hope to Sojourner’s clients and beyond.
