When you’re a victim of domestic abuse, it can feel like there’s no hope.

You’re trapped in an abusive relationship, and you have no idea how to get out. You may have tried leaving before, but your abuser has convinced you that no one else will love you like they do.

And even if you do manage to break free from their grip and get yourself out of the situation, what’s next? Where will you go? How will you support yourself? Who will take care of your children? Will anyone hire me?

These are all questions that face victims of domestic violence when they finally decide to leave their abusers. The Bella Foundation helps women who are recovering from abuse by providing them with professional clothing, financial assistance for childcare, and job placements so that they can reclaim their pride and dignity.
