In just 24 hours…
86,400 seconds
1,440 minutes
24 hours
In that time, in West Virginia—
someone will experience domestic violence.
A family will face homelessness.
A child will go to sleep without knowing what comes next.
But in those same 24 hours,
YWCA is there.
Answering the call.
Opening doors to safety.
Providing shelter, support, and a path forward.
Every second carries a story.
Every minute holds a life in motion.
Every hour, we show up.
Because one day can change everything.
