Put an End to Domestic abuse in Wisconsin

BE A SURVIVOR, NOT A STATISTIC

Does Your Partner...

Threaten to hurt you or other people you care about?
Hit, kick, punch, push, choke or use physical force against you?
Criticize or blame you for everything that goes wrong?
Humiliate you in front of other people?
Control your access to money?
Control the decision-making in your relationship?
Control your time and actions?
Put you down, call you names, make you feel like you’re crazy?
Destroy your property or abuse your pets?
Threaten to hurt you or commit suicide if you leave?
Force or coerce you to have sex when you don’t want to?

OZAUKEE COUNTY FORENSIC IMAGING EQUIPMENT CAMPAIGN

By furnishing communities with forensic imaging tools, law enforcers will be able to solve crimes quicker. In time, it is our hope perpetrators will see how this works and choose not to commit these wrong-doings so commonly overseen or dismissed.

In partnership with Rainbow House and other key experts, it is our goal to help identify community needs throughout Wisconsin, assist in securing the funds needed to support the program, and to get the right training provided for best results.

UPDATE: We are very grateful for your generosity. In 2023, the Aurora Hospital in Grafton Wisconsin received the forensic imaging equipment to assist law enforcement in Ozaukee County. A big Thank You to all the donors who made this possible.
