Hope isn't just a word. It's an action. And it starts with you. 💜

Today kicks off CORA's Hope in ACTION campaign — and we need 100 donors to help us raise $50,000 by June 30.

Your gift funds crisis services, safe housing, and prevention education for survivors and their families right here in San Mateo County. Here's what it looks like:

🔹 $50 — Hotline assistance for one caller making a safety plan
🔹 $275 — One hotel night for a family when shelter is full
🔹 $500 — Keeps an emergency hotline phone open for 90 days

Every gift counts. Will you be one of the 100?
