Over the past six years, Whispers of Love, Hope & Joy, a non-profit organization committed to walking alongside women and families specifically affected by domestic abuse, has served over one hundred families without having a physical building. We’ve met at coffee shops, city parks, courthouses, or wherever the need arises.
Recently, Whispers of Love, Hope & Joy purchased a property that is called Talitha Koum “The Healing Campus”. Talitha Koum will have apartments for women and children to live in.. As vital as a safe place to live is, we go beyond that. Our services are not just for the individuals living on Talitha Koum but for anyone who has experienced domestic abuse.
Our new location is designed to be a therapeutic community. Support groups will meet on a regular basis. We will be offering life skill training on financial literacy, healthy communication, and basic car maintenance, among others. We will work alongside the families to develop a working farm that raises vegetables and a dairy goat herd, reframing their daily rhythm and giving them a reason to engage in the day and life!
