These are a few of the statistics from 2005

2 Million Injuries in 2005 alone
1 in 4 reports violence from spouse or boyfriend
1 in 3 teens are victim of abuse by their boyfriend

If you are a victim, there is hope, you are not alone.
In a world where it is continuing to get harder and harder to just get by, I am challenging people to step up and make a decision to change the world. Help those around you, find a need and fill it. Give people and hand up, not a hand out.
