An afternoon in Wesleyville was all about giving women a chance to focus on themselves.
A Ladies Day event brought together local businesses, help agencies, and community resources all under one roof. The event, held at Messiah Lutheran Church, mixed a little fun with plenty of information.
Women had the opportunity to meet with local agencies and women-owned businesses, while also learning about safety resources and services available for those affected by domestic abuse.
Organizers and sponsors say their goal is to help women overcome domestic abuse by showing them that help is available and that they are never alone.
“well, I am a survivor and I am now what I consider a thriver. I’m also an author and I have a table with my own books on it, survivor to thriver, 3 different volumes on stories of how women have survived different things, lots of trauma, but gone on to thrive because surviving shouldn’t be the goal. Thriving should be all of our goals.” Thasia Anne, an organizer and abuse survivor said.
