Dear Friends,
REIMAGINE – the word we chose to share for 2019. CTR is proud to embrace the new face of client support for survivors of trauma. In our quest to offer services that are responsive to the community, we have reimagined our agency. We not only provide wholistic and wholehearted services that support and stabilize survivors during a crisis, we also promote ongoing healing with Trauma Sensitive Yoga and through our newest tool, Auricular (Ear) Acupuncture.
While we continue to reimagine, our core services remain the same. The Emergency Fund provides immediate financial assistance to help survivors recover from the financial impact of a crime. Since 1987, your gifts have helped us serve nearly 200,000 people and distribute more than $1.2 million in financial assistance.
I hope you will support our efforts by making an end-of-year, tax-deductible contribution. As always, 100 percent of your contribution benefits those we serve. You may donate online with a one-time or sustaining gift.
Thank you again for your continued support.
Cathy Phelps, M.A., LCSW
