According to The Family Place Senior Director of Residential Programs Aaliyah Miranda,
“Recent world events emphasize the profound importance of feeling safe in our homes. Shockingly, one in three people in Texas experiences domestic violence in their lifetime—a rate surpassing the national average. The Family Place, dedicated to saving and transforming lives, remains committed to this critical work.
“As a survivor turned advocate, I sought refuge initially, finding support that ignited my desire to give back. Through your generosity, I accessed counseling, legal aid, and pursued my education, ultimately earning my doctorate. Today, holding the role of Senior Director of Residential Programs, I am proud to persist in the crucial work of providing support and resources for those in need.
“This holiday season, survivors like me, who once sought safety, will celebrate joyfully. Your support has the power to create more stories like mine.
“My wish: Join me in making the holidays merry and brighter for clients today and ensuring support for thousands more in the future.
