CHALLENGE #12 - 2018

SOJOURNER HOUSE
Providence, Rhode Island

*****CHALLENGE COMPLETED*****

Sojourner House was founded in 1976 and since then they have helped over 50,000 individuals.  “The Story Behind the Name Sojourner House was partly named after Sojourner Truth, the courageous 19th-century enslaved woman who later became an abolitionist, speaking on behalf of women and slaves as she traveled throughout the U.S.  Her message of strength and freedom inspires our work.  We've designed our programs so that our clients have many options to choose from, allowing them to build strength and independence as they recover from abuse.  Additionally, our organization derives its name from our goal to give victims and survivors a place to "sojourn" as some go through the toughest times of their lives.”

Here is what we would like to send to Sojourner House:


  78 Women’s - DONE
    6 Teen Boys - DONE
