October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

And there is one phrase I wish we would stop saying:

“Why doesn’t she just leave?”
Just leave and go where?
Put yourself there for a minute. Some of you don’t have to imagine it. You’ve been there.

Imagine living in a home where you’ve learned to stay quiet to keep the peace. Where you calculate what you say, how you say it, what mood someone is in before you walk into a room.

Maybe the abuse is physical.
Maybe it’s emotional.
Maybe it’s mental.
Maybe nobody has ever put their hands on you, but they’ve spent years making sure you believe you are incapable of surviving without them.
And eventually, silence becomes survival.

Then one day you finally think “I have to get out, but…”
you have children.
You need somewhere all of you can go.
You need money.
You need deposits.
You need transportation.
You need somewhere safe enough that the person you’re leaving cannot simply show up.

And underneath all of those practical things is something people don’t see is that You have to convince yourself that you can actually do it!

🚨 URGENT: WE NEED $1,500 BY TOMORROW. 🚨

We’ve been walking alongside a survivor and her family, helping them move from crisis to stability.

Tomorrow, she has the chance to take one hell of a step forward.

She’s been APPROVED for her own home.
The home is there. The approval is done. The keys are waiting.

There’s ONE gap left: $1,500.

That covers the deposit and move-in expenses needed to put those keys in her hand tomorrow.

And for the first time, she gets to experience her own Hope House. It’s not one of ours, but one that belongs to her. A place where she and her kids can close the door on survival mode and start making new memories together.

That’s the goal, y’all. We don’t want people to need us forever. We want to walk with them until they don’t.

$10. $25. $50. Whatever you can do.

$1,500 gets her the keys.
Let’s get this family HOME.

Everybody wants to see change. But how many of us are willing to BE the change?

It’s easy to talk about what’s wrong with our city. The addiction. The homelessness. The violence. The families struggling to make it through another week.

But change doesn’t happen because we talk about it.

It happens when we show up.

When we love people who have been written off. When we give someone another chance. When we see a need and decide it’s OUR problem too.

You don’t have to start a nonprofit. You don’t have to have a lot of money. You don’t even have to have all the answers.

You just have to be willing to do SOMETHING.

Because the truth is, we can’t change our city if we aren’t willing to love the people in it.

Be the change you keep waiting on somebody else to make.

That’s how we fight monsters.

The worst time to figure out how to help someone is when they’re standing in front of you asking for it.

We don’t get to schedule emergencies. But we CAN be ready for them.

That’s what monthly donors make possible.

It’s keeping the lights on at Hood-Mart so we can continue serving families.

It’s groceries for a mom who’s struggling this week.

It’s gas in the car to get someone to detox when they’re finally ready.

Sometimes it’s the smallest things that make the biggest difference.

We don’t want to have to fundraise before we can show up. We want to already be on our way.

That’s why we need YOU.

$10, $25, or $50 a month. Whatever you can commit to.

Because the need doesn’t stop when the fundraiser ends. Neither can we.

Join the forces. Become a monthly donor.

Today Kasey Ables and I had the pleasure of attending our first SCORE CDC meeting! While several of our teammates have attended before, this September meeting was our first. It was refreshing and such a privilege to watch community leaders, neighbors, and nonprofits work together to solve the problems facing South Memphis as well as give praise for a job well done. Thank you for welcoming us today! We are looking forward to seeing you all again in October!

Today we got to sit in on a panel about gas station drugs and whew… there’s a lot to talk about.

The drug landscape is changing FAST. Some of the stuff hurting people isn’t hidden or hard to find. It’s sitting on a shelf at the gas station down the road.

If we’re going to keep showing up for people, we have to keep learning what they’re actually up against.

We don’t know everything. That’s why we keep getting in the rooms where we can learn.

Then we take it back to the streets and do the work.

Educate without stigma. Act with compassion.

For Opioid Awareness Day, We Fight Monsters is encouraging conversations about opioid use, harm reduction, overdose prevention, and recovery.

Ask questions. Listen to people with lived experience.

Shame can silence someone who needs support. Compassion can help open that conversation.

We honor those we’ve lost, stand with their loved ones, and support people at every stage of their journey.

If you or a loved one needs help finding harm reduction resources, recovery support, or other services, reach out to us. You don’t have to figure it out alone. 💜

It’s tough to ask for help.

Sometimes people carry a need for a long time before they ever get the courage to say, “Hey, we need something.”

But we don’t want people to always have to ask.

We want to be able to see a need and meet it. To notice what’s missing and step in before someone even has to find the words.

Because of YOU, we were able to do that for David’s boys.

Because people gave, we were able to provide some much needed help to meet their urgent needs and take one more thing off the shoulders of a family already carrying so much.

That’s what your donations allow us to do.

To see the need.
To show up.
To help without hesitation.

Thank you for trusting us enough to keep putting resources in our hands so we can put them exactly where they’re needed.
