About Laura's House
The inception of Laura's House was inspired by a true story about a woman called Laura who was a victim of domestic violence.
Desde 1994, La Casa de Laura ha seguido creciendo y ofrecen una multitud de programas y servicios que proporcionan un apoyo vital y la educación dirigidas a evitar tales circunstancias trgicas para que jams se vuelvan a producir.
Laura's House provides unduplicated domestic violence-related services to the 915,000 residents of Orange County, California and beyond. Over the past 29 years, Laura's House has provided shelter and supportive services to more than 5,000 abused women, men and children and counseling, life skills education and legal advocacy to over 55,000 persons.
Today, Laura's House continues to be the only state-approved comprehensive domestic violence agency in South Orange County. Annually, Laura's House provides residential shelter services, transitional housing, counseling and workshops, and legal services to thousands of individuals. Over 3000 crisis calls come in each year on our 24/7 Crisis Hotline.
Our target population is families experiencing the effects of domestic violence in need of emergency shelter, support, education and counseling. Laura's House operates on the philosophy that domestic violence is multi-dimensional and often cyclical in nature and must be addressed through a range of interventions. Our goal is to provide supportive service programs that will prepare our clients and their children to live independent and violence free lives, with an emphasis on education and prevention for future generations.
Laura's Story
Lamentablemente, el final de su historia en particular es muy trágico .... su vida terminacute; con su muerte prematura a los 38 años.
En 1991, unas cuantas mujeres locales formaron en el Comité de Acción de Violencia Doméstica del Sur del Condado de Orange con el sueño de construir un refugio para mujeres maltratadas en el Sur del condado. Después de ser contactadas por la madre de Laura que les dijo que Laura no tenía dónde recurrir en busca de recursos e ayuda, las mujeres se comprometieron a hacer sus sueños una realidad. En 1994, los residentes locales, incluyendo la co-fundadores, Sandy Condello y Kendall Helen, convocaron a una reunión de la ciudad y pidieron a la comunidad que accepten su visión de La casa de Laura. Hubo una gran respuesta de la comunidad de apoyo y financiación. Se decidió entonces que la agencia sería nombrada en memoria de Laura.
