dietary recommendations, supplemented by a small
allowance for nonfood goods.

material assets and health but also capabilities,

poverty is only being…
hungry, naked, and
homeless…

The poverty of being

unwanted, unloved and
uncared for is the greatest
poverty…

We must start in our own

homes to remedy this kind
of poverty

has lost almost everything. Being homeless is traumatizing;
being homeless while raising children, escaping domestic
violence, looking for work, or struggling with addiction can
shatter her spirit.
Through classes, counseling, career mentoring and peer
support, she gains the tools to rebuild her life.

donate countless hours of their time to ensuring that
homeless women successfully rise out of poverty.

children and 88% of women secured a job or enrolled in
school/training.

I got flowers today
It wasn’t my birthday
Or any special day……
We had our first argument last night,
And he said a lot of cruel things
That really hurt me
I know he is sorry
And didn’t mean the things he said
Because he sent me flowers today!
I got a flowers Today…
I got flowers today,
It wasn’t our anniversary
Or any other special day.
Last night, he threw me into a wall
And started to choke me,
It seemed like a nightmare
I couldn’t believe it was real
I know he must be sorry
Because he sent me flowers today….
I got a flowers Today…
I got flowers today,
And it wasn’t Mother’s Day
Or any other special Day.
Last night, he beat me up again,
If I leave him, what will I do?
How will I take care of my kids?
What about money?
I’m afraid of him and scared to leave,
But I know he must be sorry
Because he sent me a flowers today…
 I got a flowers Today…
I got flowers today,
Today was a very special day.
It was the day of my funeral,
Last night, he finally killed me.
If only I had gathered enough courage
And strength to leave him,
I would not have gotten flowers today….
