"They saved my life."

Twenty years ago, Monica, the first Cocoon resident, spoke those very words following her move in on the very first day we were open. She and her child were provided the first ever safe shelter space in Wood County - and since then, more than 8,000 survivors have experienced their "firsts" at The Cocoon. Their first time feeling safe; their first time feeling hope; and in many cases their first time believing that they can live a life without violence.

As we honor 20 years of impact, we invite you to help shape the future for survivors. One hundred percent of your tax-deductible donation will be put to work immediately providing safety, healing, and justice.

We thank you in advance for standing with survivors and helping ensure that each and every person in our community has access to life-saving services 24/7, 365 days a year.
