Wellness Locker
The HopeWorks Survivors’ Wellness Locker, part of the Hopeworks Survivors’ Health Project, contains essential wellness items to replenish the body and mind.
For many survivors, an “ordinary day” is extraordinarily difficult to manage. Survivors experience a wide range of symptoms including difficulty walking, depression, unrelenting exhaustion, constant pain and gastrointestinal problems. Many of the treatment modalities for these conditions are not covered by insurance. Additionally, it can be costly to maintain a regular schedule of treatments.
HopeWorks alleviates some of the financial challenges by maintaining the Wellness Locker. The Locker is available to survivors who are members of the HopeWorks Survivors’ Health Project.
Safe House Wishlist
Items purchased from this list will go directly to survivors of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and sex trafficking that are utilizing either our short-term emergency or long-term residential services.
