Paint the Town (La) Red & Silent Auction
Thank You for Celebrating with us!
TNLR is eternally grateful for our community.
You answered the call for survivor safety and helped us raise $26,175!
That money can cover:
- 6.5 months of safehome costs in a confidential emergency shelter
- Our 24/7 crisis hotline phone bill for 8.5 years
- An additional transitional housing program space, providing a little over a year in rent for a survivor
Donors like you make it possible to think bigger, expand outreach, strengthen programs, and ultimately prevent violence before it begins. That’s not just charity, that’s community.
If you’re looking to invest in real, measurable change that protects lives and strengthens survivors, TNLR is a place where your support truly counts. You can still make a contribution today.
*TNLR's events are mask-required and substance free.*
