CHERYL'S STORY

Cheryl Anise Bethea was a 43 year old mother of a 19 year old daughter and 21 year old son, a proud "Glam" mother of a 9 mo baby boy
(I endearingly nicknaming him, "Grump"), a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a niece, and a friend. She had a big heart and an illuminating personality with a big beautiful smile who never met a stranger. On August 25, 2014, her life was snuffed away in s

uch a senseless and cowardly act of Domestic Violence. As she stood outside, in front of her home, fighting for her life, she was stabbed multiple times by a man, she dated for nearly 3 years after filing a restraint order against him on that very same day. After the death of our beloved Cheryl, we realized Domestic Violence is a silent killer, mentally and physically that must be sounded. With her love ones unaware of the mental and physical abuse she endured day in and day out, her energetic, radiate personality was slowly being snuffed away from her, eventually, losing her life so quickly in an untimely death. Through her death, we realized silence is a major problem in DV and we missed a lot of signs as her family as well as friends. Because here death was so unexpected, her family was left picking up so many shattered and scattered pieces. The life she left behind was so unfinished and her children and grandchild were in immediate need of shelter and financial assistance. Our Mission:
Sound the Silence in Domestic Violence shares Cheryl's story to bring awareness about DV and the dangers of being silent. We are on a mission to prevent abuse and save lives. Please feel free to make comments and share her story or your story of survival as well in DV.

Sound the Silence in Domestic Violence had an “Ah Ha moment,” yesterday, thinking over the past 13 years how we have given and planted seeds into others, silently and out loud. Whether it has been monetarily, volunteering of time, or donations of goods/services, we have sown with a heart of gratitude, without expecting anything in return, to our domestic violence community along with the help of our community.

We are still feeling blissful, honored, and thankful for Noah Ashton Cook, founder of TRLS, service to humanity and his heart for community to give back by raising funds for our organization. Again, we thank you Noah and each and every donor that gave, entrusting us and our cause. We all can win as we keep building a table.

Domestic violence doesn’t just affect an individual it’s affects an entire community.

“It is through our voices and stories we can inspire others to be come survivors.”

First of all, Sound the Silence in Domestic Violence is so grateful for this opportunity that has been given to raise funds for our organization. We would like to thank each and everyone for their generosity in donations to our organization because without community we would not be able to do what we do for individuals and families in our community affected by domestic violence. From our own personal experiences with domestic violence our mission and vision has been to release the silence while assisting others during their immediate crisis along with providing hope to their healing journey.

Thank you for shining a light on the affects of domestic violence and sharing your amazing story of surviving domestic violence with me without shame, stigma, or guilt.

I am grateful to the Most High for entrusting me to be a conduit for my earthly assignment. There were many times I didn’t want to answer the call of what I felt was initially heavy, but when it’s your assignment it will call you, not the other way around. As you are graced with fortitude to handle it know you will always be divinely guided and aligned💜
