Shining Light In Darkness

Shining Light In Darkness Shining Light in Darkness wants to spread our message of compassion, hope, and advocacy. We believe that a single action can make a difference in the community.

There is a vital need for culturally sensitive support and essential resources that foster healing for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence in underserved populations. Shining Light In Darkness Foundation (SLID) is committed to seeing a world free from domestic violence (DV) and sexual assault (SA). SLID works to stop the cycle of domestic violence and sexual assault and its impact th

rough support, education, and advocacy. We believe every survivor of sexual assault and domestic violence is worthy of hope and healing. And we envision a world where every survivor is seen, heard, and supported, so they can feel empowered. So, weโ€™re committed to caring deeply for those in underserved communities so they can heal and rebuild their lives. SLID knows that everyone heals differently. We find the most effective way for victims and survivors to recover from their trauma. We provide holistic healing services and educational programs for raising awareness and prevention. We work with schools, universities, churches, and private groups to bring our DV/SA Curriculum and other programs to local organizations and students. Our services are free and confidential. Our organization serves victims and survivors with emotional support, legal and medical information, and referrals to other community agencies. We provide a variety of support groups for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors. Inspired by our founder's experience dealing with domestic violence and sexual assault, we know that every person heals differently. We believe that all survivors should be seen, heard, and supported to have the opportunity to heal. We are an IRS 501c3 designated public charity (filed as of 2014), and OUR TAX ID NUMBER IS 47-2120872.

Some people have gotten so used to carrying everything alone that they stop asking for help altogether.

They tell themselves:
"I'll deal with it."
"I don't want to burden anyone."
"Nobody would understand anyway."

But the truth is, nobody should have to suffer in silence.

At Shining Light In Darkness, we want every survivor to know this: You matter. Your story matters. And what happened to you does not define your worth.

You deserve to be seen.
You deserve to be heard.
You deserve support, healing, and hope.

If today feels heavy, please know you are not alone.

Our Toddler Advocate is teaching an important lesson early:

Kind words matter.

The way children learn to speak to others today helps shape the relationships they build tomorrow. Kindness, empathy, communication, and respect all start small.

Tiny words today. Stronger relationships tomorrow.

Some people see a table and brochures.

We see conversations, smiles, trust, and moments that remind families they are not alone.

This is what community looks like.

Real people. Real connection. Real healing.

Every outreach event is another chance to help someone feel seen, heard, and supported.

Every BreakFREE Bag represents more than essentials.

It represents dignity, safety, and the reminder that survivors are not alone.

Inside each bag are items many of us take for granted, but for someone fleeing violence, they can mean comfort during one of the hardest moments of their life.

This is what community support looks like in action.

Behind every strong woman is often a reason she chose to fight for others.

Flo is not just serving the community through Shining Light In Darkness. She is also showing her grandchildren what compassion, love, strength, and healing look like in real life.

This is how change begins.

One family. One conversation. One act of care at a time.
