There's something going on in our world right now, but nobody wants to talk about it. It's something that affects millions of women each and every day. In fact, it affects 1 in 4 women - more than breast, ovarian, and lung cancer combined. What's the issue, you aks?
Domestic violence.
You heard right. Silent are the many voices that this unfathomable beast affects each day. But now, through the Purple Purse initiative with the help of The Allstate Foundation, you {yes you!} can help get people talking. You can be the voice of those silenced by domestic abuse. As part of the Purple Purse initiative, The Allstate Foundation will donate $5 to YWCA. And, they're giving up to $350,000 for programs aimed to help domestic violence survivors and end the cycle of abuse.
And speaking of money, did you know that the lack of financial knowledge and resources is the number one reason a victim of domestic violence will decide to stay, leave, or return to an abusive relationship? So, how does the Purple Purse actually help this cause, you ask? It's simple. Check out my purple purse code below. Simply share visit www.purplepurse.com and enter in the code you see below, along with your zip code between now and the end of this month {October} and The Allstate Foundation will donate $5 to the YWCA for domestic abuse programs – up to $350,000!
I hope you'll join me in breaking the silence and the cylce of domestic violence. The silence surrounding this tragedy is deafening. But we can help end it just by passing the Purple Purse. For more information about Purple Purse, please visit Facebook or the Purple Purse website.
