🏔️👑 It was a powerful evening celebrating courage, resilience and the strength of women. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so special. Read more about the event and the inspiring story behind it here.

When funding disappears, the need doesn’t disappear with it.
Earlier this year, a survivors-services organization in Lamar, Colorado, closed after 40 years of service, leaving survivors across four rural counties wihtout a local domestic and sexual violence agency.

The closure comes amid years of declining federal Victims of Crime Act funding, including a 46% reduction since 2024 that has affected Response and agencies like us across Colorado.

At a time when Response is seeing unprecedented demand for our services, we are deeply grateful to live in a community that believes survivors should always have somewhere to turn.

Thank you for helping keep Response strong and ensuring safety and support remain available here in the RFV.
