COVID-19 has forced us to make the difficult decision to cancel our largest annual fundraising event, Be the Light, originally scheduled for Friday, May 15, 2020. If you were planning to attend Be the Light, please consider making a tax-deductible gift to help support our work and our mission. We look forward to seeing you next year at Discovery World for Be the Light on June 11, 2021.

Mia’s first call to Sojourner’s 24-hour hotline shelter was in May of 2019. The police department referred her to the agency following a domestic violence incident. She discussed her situation with and Advocate and decided it was safest for her to stay at a shelter in Waukesha, far from her abusive partner.

Charity first connected with Sojourner after law enforcement and the District Attorney’s Office encouraged her to reach out.
