In this enlightening podcast episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Tracey Ray, the Executive Director of Safe Haven of Pender & Duplin Counties. Safe Haven is a non-profit organization committed to assisting individuals facing domestic abuse, offering support at every stage – before, during, and after leaving a dangerous situation.

Dr. Ray sheds light on the comprehensive services provided by Safe Haven, ranging from immediate needs like shelter, food, and transportation, to long-term support such as education, empowerment, and employment opportunities. The organization's holistic approach underscores its commitment to helping survivors rebuild their lives.

We discuss the various initiatives undertaken by Safe Haven, including annual fundraisers and the organization's thrift and furniture stores that help create sustainable revenue streams while also providing affordable options for those in need.

The podcast episode serves as a platform to raise awareness about the critical work carried out by Safe Haven in Pender & Duplin Counties. It is a must-listen for anyone interested in supporting and understanding the vital role this on-profit plays in creating safe spaces for individuals seeking refuge and empowerment.
