Win a LG Tone Pro Wireless Stereo Headset

As a Paramedic, I have responded to my fair share of Domestic Violence Calls.  Too Many to count to be honest.  Each one of them, a story around pain, and violence that is not needed.  For me, I hated seeing all the useless violence and not being able to do anything about it except take the victim to the hospital.  If you know someone who needs help, reach out to them, or help them find the help they need.

Domestic violence is a national problem that impacts our communities, neighbors, coworkers, friends and family members. It happens to all walks of life and doesn’t just affect certain races, genders or economic levels. It happens to men and women, to rich and poor.

• 1 in 4 women will experience domestic violence during her lifetime.[iii]
• Men are the victims of nearly 3 million physical assaults in the U.S. [iii]
• On a typical day, more than 20,000 phone calls are placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide. [ii]
• More than 3 million children witness domestic violence in their homes each year. [iii]

HopeLine provides financial support to non-profit domestic violence organizations and agencies that are committed to connecting victims and survivors to vital resources. Verizon has a longstanding commitment to domestic violence awareness and prevention, which has been a philanthropic focus since 2001 through the HopeLine program.

Have you ever noticed talked to your Verizon rep while purchasing your new phone? I know my store even has a drop box just in case I didn’t get a chance to talk to them.Verizon’s HopeLine program collects used wireless phones, chargers and accessories, and turns them into support for domestic violence awareness and prevention organizations.

Verizon also donates wireless phones through the HopeLine program, complete with minutes and text messaging, to domestic violence shelters and non-profit organizations for use by victims and survivors.Verizon’s HopeLine phones serve as a vital link for survivors and help keep a private line of communication to family, friends and employers. I can’t tell you how important this is as many victims of domestic violence are cut off by their abuser from their friends and family. Even a phone call from an employer can be the one phone call that could save a life.

Through the HopeLine program, Verizon has donated millions of dollars, thousands of phones and numerous resources to the domestic violence prevention and awareness movement. For more information, visit verizon.com/about/hopeline.

To date, the HopeLine program has collected more than 11.4 million phones and donated more than 190,000 phones.
