Solid Ground WA

“This is somewhere where for the first time, I felt safe. Somewhere where no one was going to hurt me, and I wasn’t going to have to fight.”  

-Talia*, mom & former Broadview resident 

When Talia arrived at Solid Ground’s Broadview shelter for domestic violence (DV) survivors, her life changed forever. For the first time, she felt truly safe, genuinely supported, and hope blossomed for a future free from violence – for herself and her children. 

But healing doesn’t happen alone. It takes a compassionate community stepping forward to support survivors on their journey toward a brighter tomorrow. 

Imagine the ways your support will change the lives of the more than 300 survivors and their children who are able to rebuild their lives through trauma-informed support, personalized case management, dedicated children’s programming, support groups, housing assistance, and so much more.

Today, Talia’s life is filled with stability and possibility. Her children are thriving, she’s in a loving, respectful relationship, and soon she’ll welcome a daughter into a home defined by trust, safety, and love.

Join us in nurturing hope, transforming lives, and breaking the cycle of violence – one family at a time.
