Through the Fund and the generosity of supporters like you\, the smallest survivors of domestic violence receive the support they need. Even when children don’t see domestic abuse\, they usually know it’s happening. When children see\, hear and experience violence\, it affects them in lifelong ways. These children are more likely to exhibit behavioral issues and physical health problems\, including depression\, anxiety\, and violence toward peers. \nHere at WID we work very hard to help the children and provide all the tools for success that they will need. We provide counseling\, parenting counseling\, and several other trauma-informed therapy techniques to help the children heal properly. Another part of healing for a child is simply the ability to be a kid. Kids need to be engaged\, entertained\, and have fun! WID also support the children with year-round activities to keep their minds busy\, and their hearts full. Often WID is visited by community members and organizations that donate their time and services\, like petting zoos and magicians. \nLast year we had an incredible circus themed celebration for our children on campus\, with your help-we can celebrate them again and support the smallest survivors of domestic violence![/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”7495″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y”

This signature event marked five decades of dedication to ending domestic violence and honoring the strength and resilience of survivors and their families. \nThe evening featured an elegant dinner\, live entertainment by Gypsy Lane Band\, an exciting silent auction\, and an inspiring keynote speech from Tanya Brown\, sister of Nicole Brown Simpson. Her heartfelt words reminded us all of the urgent need to support those affected by domestic violence and to continue raising awareness in our communities. \nWe are thrilled to announce that this year’s Gala was a record-breaking success in fundraising\, thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our sponsors\, donors\, and attendees. The funds raised will directly support critical services including our 24-hour crisis hotline\, emergency shelter\, counseling programs\, and prevention and education initiatives. \nWe are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making this event such a meaningful celebration. Your continued support is vital to our mission\, and together\, we are building a safer\, more compassionate future.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container”

It’s about confidence\, dignity\, and the chance to start fresh. \nThanks to the generosity of our community\, this drive ensures that every child we serve enters the classroom feeling prepared and supported. From corporate partners to individual donors\, every backpack filled and every binder donated makes a meaningful difference. \nWe are honored to name our Annual Back-to-School Drive in honor of Joanne DeLizza\, a passionate advocate and joyful spirit whose legacy continues to uplift those most in need. Joanne’s connection to Women In Distress was fueled by her deep compassion and unwavering support for survivors. Through her estate\, Joanne made a lasting commitment to the mission of ending domestic violence for everyone. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”View/Download 2025 School Supply List” url=”https://widbroward.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/BTS2025_Flyer_85x11_final.pdf” css_animation=”bounce”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”3″ divider_color=”default” custom_height=”60″][vc_column_text]\nDid you know that over half of the 136 beds in Women In Distress’ emergency shelter are occupied by children? \nFrom babies to high schoolers\, serving the smallest survivors of domestic violence is one of the most critical parts of our mission! The Joanne DeLizza Memorial Back to School Drive helps ensure that for our school-aged children\, supplies and materials are available for them to start the school year just like any other student. Did you know that Broward County families spent an average of nearly $900 on back-to-school supplies\, including clothing and accessories last year?

SUMMARY:Capital Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Capital Campaign\nBuilding A Safer Tomorrow\nBecause Healing Cannot Begin Without A Safe Home\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur vision: No victim of domestic violence returns to an abuser because of a lack of safe housing\n\n\n\n\nWomen In Distress’ (WID) campaign\, Building A Safer Tomorrow\, will build new supportive transitional housing to provide provide housing units for survivors of domestic violence who are working through a myriad of issues related to establishing a new life free from abuse. \nWomen In Distress’ emergency shelter necessarily limits emergency housing to three months\, this beautiful new facility will be available for survivors for up to two years. Survivors will live in a safe and secure apartment community while continuing to engage with on-site therapists and advocates and other resources. In order to be truly independent\, survivors must find employment\, as financial independence will be a necessity for a life free from abuse. \nWhile survivors staying in WID’s new transitional housing units will live with autonomy\, they will be actively working a plan to establish self-sufficiency. This Includes paying rent (with a steadily declining subsidy)\, cooking\, laundry – all the skills and necessities of an autonomous life. Survivors will be offered on-site and remote services including job training\, resume writing\, credit and personal finance education\, therapeutic services\, and other needed domestic violence support services. The supportive transitional housing complex will also include space for support staff\, playground for children\, laundry facilities\, and appropriate areas for online workers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Project\, Our Campaign\, Our Dream\n\n\n\n\nFor the last 50 years\, Women In Distress has developed long-lasting partnerships with donors and community organizations to help serve victims of domestic violence. To meet the needs of its current and future clients\, WID is embarking upon a capital campaign to raise funds for a transitional housing facility and programming that helps its clients build a sustainable future. \nWID will acquire multi-unit apartment style buildings in Broward County and remodel them to accommodate victims and their families who are transitioning out of its emergency shelter. These new facilities will house various programs to help families move toward independence. \nThese facilities will help Women In Distress serve hundreds of survivors every year providing much of what they need to end their experience with domestic violence and create a new life free from abuse. Operational costs to sustain programming will be supported by grants from government partners and gradually increasing rent from the participants residing in the facility. Maintenance costs will be covered by the endowment fund created during the campaign.  WID has developed an ongoing plan for sustainability that will not create a drain on resources allocated to its current operation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo fund this project\, WID has launched a $15 million campaign\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n100% of the Board of Directors has already committed to this campaign.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy Now?\n\n\n\n\nIt seems that the affordable housing crisis in South Florida is an almost ubiquitous topic and impacts everyone in our community. The issue is so pervasive that we can become almost numb to it. Yet\, solutions are few. We at WID can’t solve the housing crisis in South Florida\, but our agency is resolute in that we must do what we can to assist the victims we serve – some of the most vulnerable members of our community! \nKnowing that one of the most frequently cited reasons that domestic violence victims return to their abusers is financial dependence – including\, in particular\, safe housing – we know that temporary emergency shelter is not enough. Victims need a longer period of time to establish a life free of their abuser and navigate the difficult South Florida housing environment. \n\n\n\n\nCan survivors count on you? WID’s new Supportive Transitional Housing Program will make this dream a reality only if you are part of it.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo request a meeting and a tour\, please contact:\nLinda L.

We invite you to stand with us\, alongside Memorial Healthcare System\, in fostering awareness within our community. Together\, let’s further our mission to stop domestic violence abuse for everyone through intervention\, education and advocacy. \nThroughout the month of October\, our Education and Prevention team will proactively engage with the community to raise awareness about Domestic Violence. The month will be marked by a series of community workshops\, training sessions\, and the facilitation of open conversations aimed at addressing the stark reality of Domestic Violence. By diving into this tough topic\, we teach our community how to both prevent and identify instances of domestic violence. We are not only strengthening the community’s resilience but also initiating a robust prevention effort. It sends a powerful message to those who have escaped Domestic Violence relationships\, as well as those who still suffer in silence\, that they are seen and validated. Domestic Violence Awareness Month embodies our commitment to empower our community and help others in reclaiming their power and finding their way back to safety. \nSee how you can get involved in October!

However\, there’s another side to this coin. For domestic abuse survivors\, the holidays can trigger trauma in various ways. Some bear memories tainted by domestic violence during specific occasions\, while others\, who have left their abusers to start fresh\, may find themselves isolated during what should be a festive and jolly time. \nApart from the trauma\, the holidays also compound stress for survivors. Financial abuse is another aspect of domestic violence\, and many who seek refuge at Women In Distress arrive with nothing more than the clothes on their backs\, often lacking access to money. Their fresh start is complicated by the lingering effects of domestic violence\, coupled with the financial struggles of rebuilding their lives. The holiday season adds further strain as they strive to provide a “normal” celebratory meal and gifts for their children while in shelter. \nFor our Holiday Toy & Gift Drive\, our caring community unites to offer our survivors a season of joy and relief. Together\, we’re ensuring that their holiday experience is free from stress and filled with the warmth of support. We collect toys\, clothing\, and gift cards so the children can experience a “normal” holiday and bring smiles to their faces. We also collect and accept gifts for the adult survivors so they know they deserve joy too! \nIf you’re interested in supporting this drive or volunteering to aid our survivors during their “shopping” experience\, please feel free to contact Elizabeth Kozak at 954-760-9800 x1211 or email ekozak@womenindistress.org[/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_size=”medium” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In From Bottom” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”medium_depth” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][nectar_btn size=”medium” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Download Holiday Drive Flyer” url=”https://widbroward.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Holiday-main-2.pdf”][nectar_btn size=”medium” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Make a monetary donation now” url=”http://widbc.convio.net/site/Donation2?2683.donation=form1&df_id=2683&mfc_pref=T” margin_left=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”90″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\nEnd-of-Year Giving\nEmpower survivors of domestic violence and their families with the gift of a violence-free future. By standing with Women In Distress\, you directly impact families\, ignite hope\, and even save lives.

Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month is every February and serves as a platform to illuminate this concern and urges everyone to identify the signs and take action when they witness such behavior\, whether it’s happening to them or others. \nThe Education and Prevention team at Women In Distress is dedicated to delivering high-quality prevention education and resources to all community members. Our goal is to contribute to a violence-free world where love doesn’t hurt\, and everyone experiences the safety they deserve. Our primary focus lies in providing comprehensive primary prevention education\, which addresses the prevention of Teen Dating Violence and Domestic Violence. We also advocate for healthy relationships among romantic partners\, friends\, peers\, family\, and the broader community. Through prevention education\, we can all cultivate the essential tools needed to practice healthy behaviors and provide empathetic support to one another. \nWomen In Distress and our Education and Prevention Team are highly active during Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. We organize various workshops\, both virtual and in-person\, catering to parents\, teenagers\, and community partners who directly interact with teens. These workshops encompass engaging contests\, activities\, and thought-provoking prompts\, all designed to involve our community and shed light on this crucial issue.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n2026 TDVAM Campaign Sponsored By\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”5265″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
