Our Work at HVDV.
Before picture of moving in nothing but an empty shell . Families have fled and have sometimes had no family support or friend network as having to leave all behind when leaving Domestic Abuse. Sometimes having very little money and support the world can look very bleak.
Dear Kevin and Liz, (HVDV)
I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am for all the help and support you gave me and my children to get us settled into our new home.
After such an horrendous time, I have totally regained faith in humanity especially following the kind gesture of a certain individual who paid for our cooker – to that person I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you so much for making an empty shell a home, each little thing made a huge difference to us, even the bedding being washed and fresh and beds made ready for us to collapse in.
In the absence of family, you made me feel I was not alone.
Such a daunting prospect became a positive experience and it was all down to you.
Special thanks too or ‘Lee’ who engaged my son and made him feel an important part of the process.
best wishes to you all, I really don’t know how you do it.
I have attached some before and after photos.
Once again thank you

How you could support indivials and families fleeing domestic abuse
Please take a couple of seconds with your eyes closed and the TV off.
Imagine sitting in an empty room with your children.
Hearing them crying because they have no toys,
knowing you cannot make a drink or cook any food.
Even worse you have only £5 in your purse, enough money to buy some food
for the children but you go without to look after your children.
You feel no- one loves you or cares
because you have been made to believe this from your partner.
You feel totally worthless and there seems no point to life,
apart from your children as they are all you have to keep you going.
You feel that it is your fault that they are in this situation.
You have been mentally scared and you believe what you have been told by your partner
as they shouted it and beat it into you so much.
Without your support this is how things are so please, please help.
They need household items, food donations, nappies.
store vouchers that can be used to help with things like baby milk and baby bottles.
All items would be appreciated because the survivors may not have anything ,
apart from the clothes that they had to escape in,
as they had to get away as fast
as they could so the person did not know where they were going.
Help us to give them a fighting chance,
they are human just like us and they did not ask to be in this situation.
If you live in Wiltshire,
you could help with clothes you no longer need, or useable furniture,
kitchen items, bedding, everything you would need to set up a home.
please note we are unable to take any items that may be in need of repair.
