Imagine having to constantly worry\nabout the safety of your children. Imagine being told every day that you aren\u2019t\nworth anything better and that nobody will believe you. Imagine not knowing\nthere\u2019s a way out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For one in three women in Texas and one in four women in the\nUnited States, this is a stark reality. But at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesisshelter.org\/\">Genesis Women\u2019s Shelter &amp; Support<\/a>,\nwe say, \u201cI believe you and there is help and hope.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since opening its doors in 1985, Genesis Women\u2019s Shelter has\nprovided safety, shelter and support to thousands of women and children\nexperiencing domestic violence. Genesis is committed to removing every\nroadblock a woman might face on her journey toward an abuse-free life, with\nservices including an emergency shelter, long-term housing, an onsite K-8\nschool, daycare, access to legal representation and cutting-edge therapeutics.\nGenesis provides these life-changing services at no cost and with no strings\nattached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year alone, we saw nearly 4,000 women and children at\nour emergency shelter, transitional housing apartments and nonresidential\ncounseling office. The women who come to us are in a fight for their life. We\naim to walk alongside each woman and tell her she is not alone and she deserves\nto feel safe and happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because we receive no government funding, we rely on the support of our community to keep our doors open and our lights on. We are thrilled to announce that for the second year in a row, we are joining forces with The Run Project! New as of this year, runners have the option of selecting a beneficiary, and we are honored to be on the list of deserving nonprofits. When a runner selects Genesis as their beneficiary, all proceeds go directly toward providing life-saving services for women and children who have experienced abuse. We appreciate your support, and look forward to the continued partnership!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u201cGetting her help is our core\nmission \u2013 from the woman just starting to question if her relationship is\nabusive to the woman has run out of her house with nothing but the clothes on\nher back.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>&#8211; Jan Langbein, CEO<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Amy Ridings Imagine what it would be like to live in fear every minute of your life, even while you&#8217;re asleep.
