We are stubbornly holding steady. A year ago today, we honestly weren’t sure we’d make it through losing our federal grant funding at the same time as losing our long-time board and staff. 2025 was rough! But we’re still here!
And, in the past year, we’ve served 405 survivors who otherwise likely would have been alone. On the hard nights, it’s been YOU – our community supporters – who get us through. Your support shows us this work is valued. And together we will continue to find ways to work towards the safer community we all crave.

Circle of Hope Monthly Giving
This is your chance, Change Maker!
If everyone on this list gave $75 per month, our entire annual budget would be covered. AND, as part of Monthly Giving Week from May 11-15, you can triple your impact as GiveButter is matching every new monthly gift of $5+ with a $10 donation. So, if 100 of you started a monthly gift of just $25 this week that would help 5 more clients this month hire a lawyer or pay a rental deposit.
Sustaining Monthly Donors ($75+/month):
- Aspen Vaught
- Em Wintle
- Julie Hall
Monthly Donors Keeping the Lights On ($10-50/month)
- Ann Carter
- David Avanzino
- Debra ODonnell
- Karen Rockett
- Kenneth Heftel
- Linda Frick
- Margaret Thomson
- Shauna Ricci

- Susan Hubbard
- Winthrop Osborn

“We were looking for a way to support The Purple Flower dependably over time. Options like a family trust are for regular folks like us, not just rich people.” ~ Anonymous Purple Flower Legacy Donor
