Last night looked different for CFP Jacq as I spoke at a local women’s shelter for women fleeing abuse on financial literacy topics like budgeting and insurance.
These women were living a normal life until their abuse started. They loose their freedom, confidence, dignity and ability to manager their money.
Abuse comes in many forms such as: physical, emotional, financial, digital, isolation, threats, and sexual.
It was eye opening listening to the obstacles these women have had to overcome.
As a new mom myself, I can’t imagine trying to protect my child from these situations and it goes to show how incredibly resilient women and moms are! 💪🏻
After learning there were babies living in the shelter, I rallied our Facebook mom community and put together a few boxes of items. One mom put their baby in the snowsuit right away 🥹
If you or anyone you know is in an abusive situation, they can call the Assaulted Women’s Helpline 416-364-4144 or you can assist by providing them the AWHL website
