Intimate Partner Abuse and Domestic Violence are heart-wrenching and life-changing experiences that affect lives in very tangible ways.

They are experiences that differ in mode and intensity from individual to individual but always leave a scar on more lives than the perpetrator and the victim. They are experiences so sad and impactful that one cannot afford to be silent about it.
On this Blog, we will be sharing the domestic violence stories of survivors.

When I told Danielle about the vision for Broken & Braced, she offered to share her story. She was the first person to invest into the opportunity to help people struggling with abuse.

On Danielle's Story, we walk through the life of a survivor.
We hope that as you go on this journey with us, you will gain the insight to be more observant and that you acquire the courage to speak up when you notice something that doesn't seem right to you.

If you identify with these stories because you are currently living in a similar situation, please shake off fear and get help. There is someone you can trust out there. They are just waiting for you to reach out.
