Overview

Mission

Love life now foundation (lln) is a global awareness and education organization that supports survivors of domestic violence through year-round initiatives and direct assistance to domestic violence programs.

What it reported doing in 2024

Get safe fund & homeless brown bag and caremany victims have a hard time deciding that leaving an abusive relationship is the best decision. If they do leave, they are sometimes faced with becoming homeless in the hours immediately after they do since dv shelters are often full statewide. When we are referred a victim seeking to 'get safe' who has exhausted dv shelter resources we have provided to find immediate housing, we pay for them to stay at a local hotel for up to 2 to 3 nights, so they can continue to make phone calls to continue to look for shelter, take a shower, sleep, etc. The fund also helps with related expenses like lawyer fees, gift-cards for food/clothing/transportation/bedding (most leave with just the clothes on their backs), etc., helping to give a leg up to those who need it. Number of survivors who received support: 465.
