I've had the pleasure of spending some time there, you don't have to have children! You are dealing with some abusive men, harassing you. they can point you in the right way! Make calls talk to people! But when it all comes down to it, it's911 for the police! They will come to you! Don't be afraid do it! Open that door When he won't stop! Call 911 police! They will come!! It's Saturday night, this is the first night at least one or two of those guys are not smart ass! other night he asked me who I thought I was! The only thing he didn't do is grab me by my arm! That's when I realized! I need help! I have put up with bad behavior since I've been here! It's over! I won't be bullied or harassed by two or three guys anymore! I called three different people today Everyone wants me to stop the crap just call the cops and then, they can be charged with harassment! They will come to my building! I just need to make the call! Time's up! What's worse? This behavior isn't going to stop! The Next Movement mine! Plus trying to move to get away from this Behavior! My choice, you have people here who think this situation is a joke!! For over a year! Just do it! Before you get to the hospital! A quote from Johnny Depp, you can close your eyes to what you don't want to see, but you Don't Close Your Heart two things you don't want to feel ! when it comes again, make that call!! Some men never stop!

I am incredibly grateful for Renee Appling at the Center for Women and Families. From the very first moment we met, Renee’s warmth, compassion, and genuine care were evident. There is something truly remarkable about her presence — her beautiful smile alone can lift your spirits on the darkest days, but it is her unwavering dedication to my well-being that left an indelible mark on my heart. Renee never treated me like a case, a statistic, or a number. She treated me like a human being who mattered deeply. She listened with patience and empathy, offering guidance without judgment, and always knowing when to lift me up when I felt discouraged or overwhelmed. She celebrated my victories, no matter how small, and reminded me of my strength when I doubted myself. During moments when I felt lost, her encouragement became a guiding light, giving me hope and courage to keep moving forward. What sets Renee apart is her authentic interest in the people she serves. She goes above and beyond, not just in her professional role, but as a source of emotional support and human connection. Her kindness is not fleeting — it is consistent, genuine, and transformative. I cannot overstate the comfort, confidence, and empowerment she instilled in me during a time when I needed it most. The Center for Women and Families is incredibly fortunate to have Renee Appling on their team. She embodies the very essence of advocacy: empathy, patience, respect, and a heart that truly cares. I will forever carry the impact of her guidance, her words, and her presence. Renee is not just an advocate — she is a beacon of hope, a source of strength, and a reminder that even in our hardest moments, there are people who will see us, believe in us, and uplift us with unwavering care. If you are seeking support, I can say without hesitation that Renee Appling will meet you where you are, walk beside you with compassion, and help you find your own strength when you feel it has disappeared. She is extraordinary, and I will always be thankful for the profound difference she made in my life.
