Emergency Shelters
As the cases of domestic violence rise, so does the need for emergency
shelter for abused mothers and their children.
Often, a lack of a place to go prevents a mother from leaving an abusive
relationship, and so the violence continues until it is sometimes too late.
Unfortunately, Falling Water families have experienced their share of
domestic violence, and mothers have been forced to seek shelter with their
children, sometimes in the middle of the night.
This can be very traumatic for both mother and child.
Should a mother ever find herself in a violent situation, there are
several agencies who are willing to offer emergency shelter, both for her and
her children.
