YEAR-END CAMPAIGN I NOVEMBER 1 THROUGH DECEMBER 31
Her Words
This season, the women of Haven Homes of Detroit are telling their own stories. Every gift made by December 31 is matched, so your impact goes twice as far.
Hear from her.
Two minutes. Her experience, in her words.
Our team talks a lot about what healing takes. It starts with safe housing. But it requires more than that. It takes a community that shows up. Trauma-informed resources. Time, and people who stay.
This year, we wanted you to hear it from someone else.
Her Words is a collection of reflections from the women who live, heal, and grow at Haven Homes of Detroit. Some words are about beginnings. Some are about what comes after. All of them are hers, shared with permission and on her terms.
We hope you'll read them slowly. That her words will touch you. And we hope you'll stand with her again this year.
100% of gifts support the women we serve in Detroit
Gifts are tax deductible through HHD a 501(c)(3)
In her words.
For the first time in years, I feel excited about my future. Safety and support helped me believe healing is possible.

Haven Homes of Detroit means going home, opening your door, and you're safe there. Being able to open the refrigerator and find food, and being able to make a decision on your own.
Tish, HHD Graduate
Because of Haven Homes of Detroit, I now have the tools and confidence to put myself first in healthy ways.
Colleen, HHD Graduate
There are moments in life when hope feels impossible to find, and for me, Haven Homes of Detroit became that hope. … HHD gave me something I thought was gone forever: a safe place to heal.
They saw me as a person with value, dignity, and purpose, not as the pain I had endured. They walked beside me through some of my darkest moments, reminding me that my past did not define my future.
Because of Haven Homes, I began to believe in myself again.
I found strength where there had been weakness, hope where there had been despair, and a renewed sense of purpose for my life. Their kindness helped me rediscover my voice and the courage to dream again.
Haven Homes did more than provide shelter. They helped restore my heart and reminded me that healing is possible.
