OUR MISSION
“If it weren’t for the rocks in its bed, the stream would have no song.” Carl Perkins
OUR MISSION
We believe that every woman deserves to have her voice heard and represented in her legal needs. This organization is determined to accomplish this goal by helping women stand up to their abusers and fight for justice.
The Domestic Violence Victims Defense Fund, Inc. d/b/a Healing through Justice is a non-profit entity that was organized to financially assist domestic violence victims to stand up to their abusers, and help them defend and/or assert their rights. Whether it be a need for court expenses, relocating expenses, clothing costs, etc., our mission and passion is to help women gain the confidence and assistance needed to start over.
We want to spread the word of our non-profit organization in order to better serve the women in our Ohio communities by helping them defend and/or assert their rights.
