This morning, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) spoke to staff of the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence to congratulate the organization on receiving a $3,000 grant from the Allstate Foundation.
"Financial independence is essential for so many survivors of domestic violence -- a lack of financial resources is the top reason survivors stay or return to an abusive relationship," said Shaheen. "This grant is a recognition of the outstanding work the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence is doing every day to help free those in abusive relationships."
