Why do you need my support?

My Sister's Place is a small non-profit organization that relies heavily on volunteers to accomplish many of its services. Last year, volunteers contributed over 5,000 hours to our 24-hour crisis hotline, community education and children's program. Monetary and product donations go directly to benefit the women and children at My Sister's Place. All gifts, monetary and otherwise make a difference and help women rebuild their lives one step at a time.

How can I be sure that you will use my money wisely and won't waste it?

Your monetary donations are greatly appreciated and are quadrupled by volunteer support and in-kind donations. 75 cents of every dollar donated to My Sister's Place goes directly to services provided to battered women and their children.
