Please join us in supporting the Fresh Start Fund. This is a grassroots campaign, where people give what they can and spread the word to their friends, family and co-workers (take a look at the tools in the Tell Your Friends section). Even better, you can easily set up your own branch campaign customized for your own network of contacts by hitting the Create a Branch Campaign button above.
OHEL’s Domestic Abuse Program has been in operation for 16 years. In 2008 Jonathan and Rachel Marks initiated the Fresh Start Fund to assist the women and children being helped by OHEL’s domestic violence program.
The primary objective of the fund is to provide women who are residing in the OHEL domestic violence shelters and participating in the domestic violence programs with quality legal representation and a legal aid stipend. It includes a network of three transitional, free, safe housing units and counseling services. It also may be used for the sole purpose of women securing expert legal counsel in the area of domestic abuse and specificially in obtaining legal and halachic divorce and custody issues.
This program and online fundraising event, will provide the opportunity to empower these vulnerable women and give them a Fresh Start.
The women and children in OHEL\'s domestic abuse program are counting on you to grow our Fresh Start Fund.
On behalf of the Women and Children we serve and our Fresh Start Fund Founders Rachel and Jonathan Marks, we thank you for your participation.
