Kim’s Story - Her Journey in Healing and Empowerment
Laura's House Survivor
"When I first came here I felt like leaving, and I felt like everything was my fault. Here I learned to value myself and I learned that I was a worthy person, independent and with a lot of dreams. I learned that I am capable of having friendships and that I am kind. Without staying here I would have never thought that way. Here I had a family, you guys gave me love and friendship and everyday that goes by I will know that God put some angels in my path to protect me and teach me to always have my head up high. I will miss all of you and this house that protected me for 45 days. This place is full of love and dreams. Laura's House was my solution to get out. Here is where you guys gave so much love to Samantha and me. P.S. It's not every day that angels are found here on earth."
Therapeutic Preschool teacher
"One of the tools we use at circle time in our therapeutic preschool is an attitude ball. We toss the ball to each child and there will be something on the ball that they are asked to do. It may be something silly such as 'walk like a duck' or it may be tell a story with a happy ending. One of the saddest moments came when a six year old was given the ball and asked to tell a story with a happy ending. He looked me straight in the eye and said, 'I don't know any stories with happy endings'. About 2 weeks later we were playing the game again and again he was given the same question. He looked up at me and said 'Laura's House is a place where moms and kids live and have fun and go on field trips, its a happy place.' This brought tears to my eyes."

"While being here at Laura's House I was able to learn that this cycle can be broken and there is hope. My housing situation was of the utmost importance to me and Laura's House saw to it that I would not be on the street. Laura's House was a gift. Orange County's gift to DV survivors."
