ATVP EMPOWERS INDIVIDUALS AFFECTED BY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SEXUAL ASSAULT AND ABUSE, AND STALKING. WE WORK TO CREATE A SAFE AND EQUITABLE COMMUNITY THROUGH EDUCATION AND PREVENTION

Abundant Blessings House of Hope's mission is to offer a supportive and safe place to learn trust, independence, and self-worth during pregnancy. We want women to understand that there are alternatives to abortions and will support them and help them find resources to either keep and raise their babies or find a fair and acceptable adoption option. We use resources such as teaching basic life skills, job seeking skills, and, on the therapeutic side, horses to teach trust and communication. We believe that where these women currently are is simply a snapshot, not a definition of who they are. Everyone has the ability to soar on wings like eagles if only given the eyes to see the opportunity and the belief that they can.
