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 Lupe Rojas at 954-760-9800 x1346 or email events@WIDBroward.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/2026/05/Holiday26_Flyer_85x11_52726.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.
