Ms. W is thirty seven and supports her three children ages 7, 14 and 18. When Ms. W first reached Black Vets for Social Justice (BVSJ), she and her children were scared for their lives as a result of domestic violence. BVSJ was able to provide her with comprehensive support services such as access to food pantries, temporary metrocards as well as referrals to a court escort and family counseling while she pursed the conviction of her perpetrator. He was ultimately sentenced to fifteen years in prison. BVSJ was also there to help kick start her new life. In 10 short months with help from BVSJ, Ms. W was able to secure full time employment, relocate her family to an apartment and enroll in Long Island University. She has successfully completed her first semester. She hopes to obtain her Bachelors degree in accounting.
