The dedicated volunteers who work at Laura’s House resale store in San Juan Capistrano.

I am honored to recognize Laura’s House as Senate District 38’s Champion of the Month for October‚ during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Since 1994‚ Laura’s House has been a cornerstone of support for domestic violence survivors in Orange County and today fields over 3‚000 crisis hotline calls annually. The organization was founded to ensure that no one would face domestic violence without access to resources and safety.

Laura’s House provides essential services‚ including 24-hour crisis hotline‚ emergency shelter‚ counseling‚ life-skills workshops‚ case management‚ legal advocacy‚ on-site children’s programs and transitional housing. Over the years‚ Laura’s House has helped thousands of individuals break free from the cycle of abuse‚ offering not only immediate refuge but also the tools to build independent‚ violence-free lives. The house’s programs empower survivors to take control of their futures and heal from trauma‚ while also offering support for their children through therapeutic programs.
