This February, your love can make a difference.
Every year, Tubman helps tens of thousands of your neighbors overcome barriers and love without fear. As Minnesota’s largest provider of domestic violence services, we are here to provide hope, healing, and safety through services like emergency shelter, transitional housing, youth outreach and education, mental and chemical health treatment and counseling, and so much more.
Whether it’s a teen navigating their first romantic relationship, a family looking for a pet-friendly emergency shelter, a mother seeking safety for herself and her children, or a domestic violence survivor in need of help filing an Order of Protection, Tubman is here to offer the pathway towards love without fear.
Take for example Samara, a young aspiring musician, who came to the United States at her parents’ encouragement in order to flee sexual violence. Far from the safe harbor she envisioned, her U.S. host family was abusive and controlling, requiring her to work illegally instead of pursuing her education, and preventing her from playing her violin. She fled this abusive environment and became homeless. Ashamed, Samara slept in parks, in her car, at friends’ houses, and in a church basement. A friend connected her to Tubman where she found safe housing, support to pursue her education and employment goals, and encouragement to be the person she was meant to be. Now, she is working, she is healthy, she is stable, and she is finding joy in playing her violin.
“Tubman isn’t just a place to stay. You supported me and believed there was a way out of hopelessness. I walked in with no education, no work, no violin. Now I’m working, I play violin, I’m healthy. You planted the seed of hope inside me. You are [the] family I never had.”
So, will you join us and turn your love into action with a donation of $25 or more this February?
This month, we need to raise $25,000 to continue the momentum for our Great Dreams Campaign, helping Tubman to meet the demands of today and the challenges of tomorrow through investments in our places, our programs, and our people.
And, you’re invited to join us on February 13, 2025, at Moxy in downtown Minneapolis for Tubman’s Galentine’s Day party! Gather with your friends to celebrate the power of hope and love in our community. Read more and RSVP for the event here!
