QUOTES
- "Intimate partner violence is one of the most common reasons a woman becomes homeless. So we can help them navigate that. But right now, that's only open to the people who are already involved in one of our other programs." - Carol Klocek
- “So it really all started back with what I saw at Catholic charities and, you know, understanding poverty and I think, though, that what we've done to at Transforming Lives is really hone in on that particular vulnerability to both poverty and trauma that women, single moms with a child under the age of five have, and then building an organization that works to solve that problem in particular.” - Carol Klocek
- “So often I think we turn a blind eye because we don't want to be involved. And. you guys, we are going to have to do something as a society. And it starts with the primary family.” - Tammera Hollerich
