The U.S. has recognized October as National Domestic Violence Month for more than a decade. For those who suffer abuse at the hands of someone, it can assure them that action steps are being taken that can set them free and stop the cycle of violence. We will coordinate tactics with shelters to ensure the women and children who seek refuge there have supplies, and will enlist the help of communities to donate apparel, cell phones, etc.
One meaningful way ICARE can assist is by educating families. We can share God’s truth that each person is valuable to Him and that makes them worthy of dignity and respect. Literature and help is more available in the U.S. than in countries like Cambodia. In families that are devoid of love, creating a healthy atmosphere where love can bloom is difficult but with God, nothing is impossible.
