Your support is a lifeline

When you support My Friend’s House, you help provide:

  • Safe shelter in moments of crisis

  • Compassionate, trauma-informed care

  • Support for children and families

  • Pathways toward independence

While we receive provincial funding, it covers only part of what’s needed.

Each year, we must raise 60% of our operating budget to continue our work.

Together, we can ensure no woman or child faces violence alone.

Everyone deserves a safe place to land

Help us be there when it matters most.
