Thank You for Helping me to Help Domestic Violence Victims

domestic_violence1 I’d like to thank everyone who participated in my Comments for a Cause promotion to help domestic violence victims.

Unfortunately, I was unable to reach my goal of $250.00 but I appreciate your comments and tweets nonetheless. They helped me to raise $145.20 to donate to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).

During the month of October, I received 258 comments on Mocha Dad and The Mocha Dad Daily, 132 tweets, and 3 commitments from people to make donations to NCADV.

Although Domestic Violence Awareness Month is over, let’s continue to do our part to stop domestic violence throughout the year. Domestic Violence affects millions of Americans each day (23.6% of women and 11.5% of men reported at least one lifetime episode of intimate-partner violence). We must end the silence and make everyone aware of this dangerous problem.

1 Kevin W. Grossman November 1, 2009 at 6:01 pm: 24/7/365. Thank you for the awareness. I’m going to post soon a call-to-action because of the horrid Richard gang rape from last week. Dear God we need education and intervention more than ever. Parents must elevate from the norm at home.

It will take millions of excellent dads (and moms) to raise awareness if we ever hope to eradicate domestic violence. Keep up the good work!
