Quotes:

• “Many of us know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence or abuse.  We often don’t realize it because victims, out of fear, do all they can to outwardly show those around them that life is normal.”
• “In 2007 I recorded several stories from victims who survived domestic violence and abuse and released them as a series on my internet radio show, Journey Inside My Mind.  Domestic violence has been very real and close to my family. “
• “I am outraged, indignant, and concerned by what goes on and was looking for something I could do about domestic violence. Even though I have no affiliation with the National Domestic Violence Hotline, I strongly believe in what they are doing.  I recorded the promo spot and have released it on the internet to share with everyone.”
• “The message is simple: Domestic violence and abuse is real. It happens every 15 seconds in the United States. We often don’t know what to do.  The National Domestic Violence Hotline has been set up to provide help.  Program the number in your cell phone and share it with others.  You may not need it now, but you may need it in the future.”
• From the National Domestic Violence Hotline website:
  “Until the violence stops, the hotline will continue to answer… One Call at a Time.  Help is available to callers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  Hotline advocates are available for victims and anyone calling on their behalf to provide crisis intervention, safety planning, information and referrals to agencies in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  Assistance is available in English and Spanish with access to more than 170 languages through interpreter services.”
