Read three women's stories of true courage
	I have a dream that someday all women will be free from the slavery that still oppresses so many women all over the world. Women are slaves in the home, in the church and in society. I will tell you many examples of this slavery. But my dream keeps me going. Women are strong and we will keep using our voices and our minds and our spirits to make change happen.

"I can't thank you enough for your help. I couldn't have made it emotionally or mentally without your help."
Jean P.
Roxbury, MA

"Are you closer to realizing your dream? YES!!! I am now a U.S. Citizen. I am also waiting for my divorce from my abuser. I also have addressed many health problems. I am also taking English classes (which I love!). I am starting computer training in a few weeks."
Yin M.
Dorchester, MA

"Web of Benefit is an angel for people surviving physical and mental abuse. They are strength, emotionally and monetarily, at the most important time; the time of healing."
Patty D.
Somerville, MA

"I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. There really aren't any words to express the gratitude that I have. Being able to go to school is a gift. Having someone give you the money to go is another. The biggest part of it is having someone like you to believe in them. Thank you so much because that made me want to do my best. Because of you I have been able to face a big challenge. Thanks so much for believing in me. That is truly a gift from God. May He richly bless you as you bless others."
Joan P.
Newton, MA

"A personal thanks for your words of inspiration and support. You truly planted the seed for my dreams to become a reality"
Shawnda G.
Roxbury, MA

"I have never experienced such generosity from a woman… and that too was an extraordinary gift."
Rosa A.
Cambridge, MA

"You helped us at a time that we were in much need of help and we didn't know where to turn. It was very helpful not only financially, but spiritually. It is amazing that an organization like yours exists because we were starting to loose faith that we would be able to receive help at all. There aren't enough words to describe how great full we are to you" written by the daughter of a recipient."
Alisha P.
Boston, MA

"Thank you again for your generosity, wisdom and support, and prompt (amazingly so) response to my need for interview clothes. I love them!"
Veronica T.
Newton, MA

"I believe that confidence and dignity come from within us…it is difficult to act with confidence when one looks so bedraggled. I especially appreciated you wise insights about 'remembering'-that so accurately described what has been happening to me these last two weeks…..yet now it is as if the 'fog' has lifted and I see all of it-the physical, sexual, mental and emotional cruelty-so clearly."
Allie N.
Dorchester, MA

"Again, thank you so very much. Your kindness and generosity have healed my body and soul."
Jen S.
Newton, MA

"The new clothes have been such a help-I went to two career/networking events yesterday, and I was able to focus on the meetings and feel great."
Laura J.
Somerville, MA

"When the time I was in difficulty, your "little help" helped me find who I was. Right now I am on the way to look for my future. I remember you helped me. You helped me with money, encouragement and your expectation too. Whenever a little progress comes, I always remember you made a difference in my life. I hope you will remember this too."
Angelique S.
Roxbury, MA

"I don't think you understand quite what you did for me. I had emailed or called every resource I could find from the Federal level down. Your organization is the single source that actually helped me in a tangible way when I was desperate and would not have had any funds to pay my mortgage or keep my slim grip on sanity. Blessings to you."
Lin L.
Dorchester, MA

"I have a dream that someday all women will be free from the slavery that still oppresses so many women all over the world. Women are slaves in the home, in the church and in society. ….My dream keeps me going. Women are strong, and we will keep using our voices and our minds and our spirits to make change happen. Someday we will be free from slavery, and our little girls will not have to go through what so many of us have gone through in our lives. My dream will come true."
Elizabeth D.
New ton, MA

"It is like, in my room, around the printer is brightened up, and an angel just sits here…And it makes me realize that this is all not a dream, and you (Web of Benefit) are real , and it's all true, that I can go to Harvard Extension School in September, and that my application to Cambridge College, where I took courses is going to be completed by evaluation of my Japanese transcript. I can not thank you enough and swear to myself that I have to work on what I should do, still more and more."
Pila L.
Cambridge, MA

"You have given me a number of reasons to feel good starting with my sneakers I wear to the gym, and the pillows I cry into. Overall, I can say that the good you have done outweighs the sadness that comes and goes."
