<strong>Thank</strong> <strong>you</strong>. <strong>PADV</strong> <strong>exceeds</strong> <strong>its</strong> <strong>goal</strong>!<br />
Hearts with Hope raises $700,000<br />
John Rice, vice chair of GE and HWH co-chair; Cathy Willis<br />
Spraetz, president and CEO of <strong>PADV</strong>; Cammie Rice, HWH<br />
co-chair; Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and Mayor Shirley Franklin.<br />
The Rices decided to serve as co-chairs of HWH after learning how<br />
great the problem of domestic violence is in metro Atlanta.<br />
Genevieve Bos, Pink Magazine; Andre DeWinter, DeWinter Inc.;<br />
Bobbi DeWinter, Palm Inc. and Jacqueline Welch, Rock-Tenn<br />
Company. All four served on the HWH Host Committee.<br />
Verizon Wireless, GE, Avon, UPS and others joined<br />
Partnership Against Domestic Violence for <strong>its</strong> 20th<br />
annual Hearts with Hope and raised $700,000 to benefit<br />
battered women and their children in metro Atlanta.<br />
<strong>PADV</strong> surpassed <strong>its</strong> $500,000 <strong>goal</strong> by $200,000 at the<br />
black-tie affair that featured dinner, live entertainment, and<br />
silent and live auctions. HWH is the signature fundraiser<br />
and stewardship event for <strong>PADV</strong>, raising approximately<br />
half of <strong>PADV</strong>’s general operating budget. With these funds,<br />
<strong>PADV</strong> provides shelter, clothing, food and a variety of<br />
support services to battered women and their children.<br />
Alge Crumpler, former tight end for the Atlanta Falcons, and John<br />
Rice, HWH co-chair. Crumpler was honored with the Hope Award<br />
for his efforts to raise awareness about domestic violence.<br />
“This year’s gala raised more money<br />
than any other Hearts with Hope<br />
because of the extraordinary leadership<br />
of the Rices, the tireless efforts<br />
of the host committee and <strong>PADV</strong>’s<br />
board of directors.”<br />
John and Cammie Rice co-chaired the gala, held February<br />
23, 2008, at the InterContinental Hotel Buckhead. This<br />
year’s gala raised more money than any other Hearts with<br />
Hope because of the extraordinary leadership of the Rices,<br />
the tireless efforts of the<br />
host committee and <strong>PADV</strong>’s<br />
board of directors. The<br />
gala sold out five weeks in<br />
advance and was attended by<br />
a record-breaking 700 guests.
Program reduces homelessness<br />
one woman at a time<br />
<strong>PADV</strong> supportive housing initiative is a success<br />
Recognizing the link between domestic violence and<br />
homelessness, <strong>PADV</strong> provides supportive housing and<br />
assistance to help bridge the gap between shelter and<br />
independent living. Since 2007, <strong>PADV</strong> has operated 14<br />
apartment un<strong>its</strong> in Fulton and Gwinnett Counties for<br />
domestic violence survivors and their children.<br />
While enrolled in the program, survivors are provided<br />
with up to two years of affordable housing and activities<br />
that strengthen their financial self-sufficiency, such as debt<br />
reduction, credit counseling and savings planning. <strong>PADV</strong><br />
also helps with emergency health and dental needs,<br />
subsidized childcare, educational advancement and<br />
job training.<br />
Reminder: Need to purchase<br />

Women who experience recent or ongoing domestic violence are far<br />
more likely to face eviction than other women.<br />
• Forty-six percent of homeless women reported<br />
that they stayed in abusive relationships because<br />
they had nowhere to go.<br />
• <strong>PADV</strong> operates the only supportive housing<br />
program for domestic violence survivors in<br />
metro Atlanta.<br />
Economic barriers make it difficult or impossible for<br />
many domestic violence survivors to find permanent,<br />
safe alternative housing. Unfortunately, with limited<br />
options, many survivors return to their batterers to avoid<br />
homelessness. In 2005, 50 percent of U.S. cities surveyed<br />
reported that domestic violence is a primary cause<br />
of homelessness. A little closer to home in metro<br />
Atlanta, 39 percent of the homeless population are<br />
women and children.<br />
Natasha,* a self-determined mother of three, is a recent<br />
program graduate. Moving to Atlanta three years ago with<br />
an entrepreneurial spirit, Natasha hoped to start her own<br />
business with her husband. That was until her husband<br />
tried to kill her, shooting at her seven times. She escaped<br />
and found refuge in <strong>PADV</strong>’s emergency Fulton shelter.<br />
Making the situation even more difficult, Natasha was five<br />
months pregnant.<br />
With scarce financial resources and about to deliver<br />
her baby, Natasha’s options were limited. Avoiding<br />
homelessness, Natasha moved into <strong>PADV</strong>’s Supportive<br />
Housing program and received affordable housing,<br />
financial assistance and support.<br />
While enrolled in <strong>PADV</strong>’s program, Natasha delivered<br />
a healthy baby girl, bought a new car (her first car was<br />
stolen while she was in shelter), and obtained a job as a<br />
receptionist. She was quickly promoted to office manager.<br />
Two years later, Natasha is safe, employed, financially<br />
self-sufficient and ready to move on. Continuing with her<br />
employer as a consultant, she has returned to her home<br />
state to be near her family. Her estranged husband is<br />
awaiting trial on aggravated assault charges.<br />

Helps survivor fulfill dream<br />
engine blew up in late spring, she went to and from work,<br />
her children’s schools, home, and to register for college by<br />
bus, train and foot.<br />
With tears in her eyes, she accepted the keys from Rhonda<br />
Harper, founder and chief executive officer of RTM&J.<br />
“This is what joy is all about – making real and positive<br />
differences in the lives of women. At Real Truth & Joy,<br />
we believe every woman should have joy in her life,” said<br />
Rhonda Harper.<br />
Constance Willis, <strong>PADV</strong> supportive housing coordinator, and Rhonda<br />
Harper, founder and CEO of RTM&J. Harper hands the car keys to a<br />
2006 Kia to Willis who accepted the car on behalf of <strong>PADV</strong>. The car<br />
was donated to a <strong>PADV</strong> client.<br />
The Real Truth & Joy Foundation donated a 2006 Kia<br />
RIO5 to <strong>PADV</strong> to benefit a survivor and her children.<br />
The RT&J Foundation is funded by Real Truth Marketing &<br />
Joy LLC, a strategic marketing consulting firm that donates<br />
10 percent of net income to support women in need.<br />
The car went to Joyce, * a domestic violence survivor<br />
and mother of five. Joyce, who is enrolled in <strong>PADV</strong>’s<br />
Supportive Housing program, left her abusive partner and<br />
everything she had almost nine months ago. After her car’s<br />
“This car makes life easier in more ways than one. I’m at<br />
a point in my life where I’m trying to make tremendous<br />
changes. <strong>PADV</strong> has been here for me in every way possible<br />
to help guide me,” said Joyce. “My primary <strong>goal</strong> is to<br />
complete school as an R.N, work, and take care of my<br />
children. Having a vehicle makes it possible to fulfill<br />
my dream.”<br />
Additionally, the RT&J Foundation donated a five-year,<br />
60,000-mile warranty and one year of free roadside<br />
assistance. The Foundation also worked with Kia Motors<br />
of Roswell to provide Joyce with three years of full<br />
car maintenance.<br />
Last month, Ann Pequiney donated a 1994 Volvo Station<br />
Wagon to <strong>PADV</strong> to be used by a survivor and her family.<br />
On behalf of the women and children <strong>PADV</strong> serves, thank<br />
<strong>you</strong> Ann, Rhonda, the RT&J Foundation, and Joe Spadaro<br />
of Kia of Roswell!<br />

<strong>PADV</strong> trains employers to avert workplace tragedies<br />
Vincent J. Bove, CPP, was the keynote speaker at <strong>PADV</strong>’s sixth<br />
annual “When Domestic Violence Goes to Work,” conference. Bove<br />
urged attendees to recognize the warning signs of domestic violence<br />
in the workplace and create a caring work environment. This<br />
year’s conference attendance increased by 40 percent. Conference<br />
evaluations indicated 100 percent of attendees thought the training<br />
was a positive learning experience.<br />
Cathy Willis Spraetz, CEO of <strong>PADV</strong>, and Dora Ward, domestic violence<br />
survivor and guest speaker. Ward recounted to an audience of<br />
145 how her employer did all of the right things to support her while<br />
providing a safe work environment for her and her co-workers.<br />

In her own words…<br />
My past speaks volumes about my current life. I am<br />
the product of three generations of domestic violence: my<br />
grandmother, my mother and myself.<br />
I met my abuser in high school. When I was 21, my partner<br />
changed and became a controlling and abusive man. One<br />
awful day, he took his belt and beat me with it, hitting me in<br />
the face and shattering my teeth. I thought my love for him<br />
would validate my love for myself. So I stayed – beaten,<br />
bruised but still in love.<br />
At times, I felt like the walking dead because my life was<br />
not my own. When I thought things couldn’t get any worse,<br />
God sent me a gift, the birth of my beautiful son.<br />
My son’s eyes were the windows to my troubled heart. I<br />
wish I could have stopped the violence that plagued and<br />
destroyed our home and our new family, but I could not.<br />
The pain and misery lasted three and a half years.<br />
Billie Walker and her son. Walker, an outspoken advocate for <strong>PADV</strong>,<br />
helps raise awareness about domestic violence.<br />
“My life changed when I found <strong>PADV</strong>.<br />
The organization helped me and my son<br />
start our life over with new memories,<br />
friends and accomplishments.”<br />
My life changed when I found <strong>PADV</strong>. The organization<br />
helped me and my son start our life over with new<br />
memories, friends and accomplishments. While in a <strong>PADV</strong><br />
shelter, I received the emotional, financial and educational<br />
support to jump-start my life. My son also received caring<br />
support to help him process and understand his experiences<br />
living in a violent home.<br />
I now have a full-time job. I am a full-time college student<br />
and I am a proud first-time homeowner. My son and I will<br />
never forget our past, but we are optimistic about our future.<br />
We recognize that had it not been for <strong>PADV</strong>, we would not<br />
be free.<br />
