Volunteer Spotlight: Barbara

Since 2003 Barbara has dedicated her time to managing and organizing the Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence (NDS) pantry of emergency supplies. Our pantry of food and hygiene items is available to anyone who has escaped an unsafe living situation and needs essential items. Barbara's tenure of 20 years here at NDS spans much longer than most of the staff, so she is a pillar of how we can support those in crisis by providing the survivors with the most basic needs.

Survivor Story 8: Toxic Love

She hesitantly returned to him and the abuse stopped for a short while… but it began again. It grew significantly worse over the years due to issues that stemmed from jealousy, insecurity, and control. Nonetheless, she remained with him trying to fix their relationship because of love.

Statement from Next Door Solutions on the Iranian Protests

Next Door Solutions (NDS) understands the lasting negative impact the oppression of women has on an individual, a family, or a community. Iranian women are being oppressed, criminalized, and murdered by the Islamic Regime in ways that are difficult even to imagine. Women have been kidnapped and murdered by the government police for singing in public, not properly wearing a hijab, and a myriad of other unjustified reasons.
