A Letter from Caity Meader

Executive Director

Thank you for your partnership in Family Services’ mission. We are honored that you entrust us with your giving—whether it is through donating, volunteering, or spreading the word about our services to individuals and families who need them. I hope the stories in this report will help you to realize how much your support is truly changing lives.

As uncomfortable as it is to think about, services for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse are needed and utilized every day in Tulare County. No age, gender, race, zip code, socioeconomic status, or education level is immune. The statistics are sobering:

• Nearly 1 in 4 women (24.3%) and 1 in 7 men (13.8%) aged 18 and older in the United States have been the victim of severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime.*

• Tulare County’s per-capita rate of domestic violence-related calls for assistance to law enforcement are 25–50% higher than in most major urban areas in the state.**

But I hope you feel proud that your support is making a difference in the lives of thousands of people in our community as they heal from violence. Your support means Family Services can help victims find hope and healing, and ultimately become survivors. We have the privilege of standing alongside our clients as they make that transformation. And you are standing behind us, making it possible.

With your support, Family Services reached more than 3,000 men, women, and children in Tulare County last year with comprehensive services that promote safe homes, safe relationships, and safe families.

I’m grateful to our steadfast financial supporters for the year’s solid growth in revenue. The 7% increase reflects both growth in our base of support and expansion in services for victims. For example, in 2015, increased funding allowed us to hire an attorney to assist victims who need legal representation, and to expand our prevention work with teens.

Because of you, Family Services’ 90 employees are working all over Tulare County—in one of our 10 office sites, in the Karen’s House shelter, in Family Resource Centers, in homes, schools, police stations, courtrooms—to help our clients build safety in their homes, in their relationships, and for their children. This leads to a safer community where we can all thrive. Thank you for choosing to be part of this powerful work. In Service,

Caity Meader Executive Director

“ Now I can laugh and share a joke. I can leave the door open and watch my little dogs play on the grass. I can come and go whenever I want. Before, I would only cry and think about how to hide food. Now I eat like a queen in my kitchen.”

Silvia's Sto'ry Silvia* was so afraid of her husband that she hid an ice chest and food in her closet. Cooking was too dangerous. When he went outside or to the bathroom, Silvia would quickly and quietly sneak to the kitchen to replenish her supply of food and ice. Sometimes, if she knew he would be gone for a while, she would pull out the electric skillet she’d hidden and cook something warm to eat in the bathroom.

The physical and verbal abuse she had endured during 33 years of their marriage had brought her to this point, but one day an incident of violence left her fearing for her life. Silvia came to Family Services’ Legal Services program, frantic and desperate for a restraining order. A legal advocate helped her create a safety plan and complete the restraining order paperwork.

Silvia eventually decided that she wanted a divorce. She only wanted two things: to live in peace and to stay in the house where she had lived for 33 years and raised her children. Her abuser had an attorney, but she knew she couldn’t afford to pay for one. She was intimidated by the attorney’s requests to sign paperwork. Family Services’ Staff Attorney, Jennifer, was able to take on Silvia’s case and represent her in the divorce at no charge. Now Silvia could face her abuser and his attorney on equal standing. After weeks of preparation and negotiation, Silvia arrived at the courthouse early for her final divorce hearing.

“I sat waiting on the bench in the hall, and I was so relaxed because I knew my lawyer would come and represent me,” Sylvia said.

With Jennifer’s help, Silvia got to keep the house in the divorce. But life in the house is completely different than before.

“Now my life is peaceful,” said Silvia. “Now I can laugh and share a joke. I can leave the door open and watch my little dogs play on the grass. I can come and go whenever I want. Before, I would only cry and think about how to hide food. Now I eat like a queen in my kitchen.”

Silvia is still getting used to her freedom, but she is looking forward to reaching some of the goals she has set for herself,

including taking a computer class and finding a part-time job that would help her save up for home repairs.

“It was a hard 33 years. God, Family Services, and Jennifer helped me through all of this,” she said.*This is a pseudonym.

Volunteers make our Mission PossibleFamily Services’ volunteers are the lifeblood of our programs. Our trained volunteer crisis counselors answer our domestic violence and sexual assault hotlines and respond to crisis situations in person. Because of them, crisis services are available every day of the year, 24 hours a day. These incredible community members volunteer on a regular schedule during their evenings, weekends, and holidays. Other individuals and groups pitch in with special projects, facility maintenance, or fundraising events. In 2015, Family Services’ volunteers gave 15,763 hours of their time—that’s the equivalent of more than seven full-time employees. Thank you for your service!

If you would like to join our team of volunteers, please contact our Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator at 559-732-7371.

In 2015, Family Services provided safety planning and legal assistance with temporary restraining orders, protective orders, or custody orders to 350 victims of domestic violence.

“ I told her I was scared for our lives and that I didn’t feel safe not knowing exactly where I was and what was going to happen. Her tone of voice and words of encouragement made me feel so comforted.”

Ana's StoryWhen I crossed the Mexico-U.S. border I thought I was going to be living a dream by being in a better country to raise my son. Unfortunately, we fell into the hands of bad people and everything changed. At first I didn’t mind working from sunrise to sunset picking fruit because I knew the money would come in handy. But when I was only able to keep $40 for a week’s worth of work, and went days without seeing my child, I was shattered. Not only was I working long hours, but my son and I were also confined to a small, dirty room. I would go nights without sleep protecting him from the roaches and mice that were in that room, too. I would beg the boss to let me go so that I could find a better place to live, but she always said I was never leaving.

One day when the boss wasn’t home, I had the courage to walk out of the house and seek help. I realized I was in the middle of nowhere and would most likely never get away. However, two good Samaritans walking by asked if I needed help and I yelled YES! I told them I needed to get away with my son, but a few minutes later the boss showed up. She dragged me back to the house and threatened me. I thought

our chance to escape had passed, and I feared what would happen to us, but the good Samaritans called the police. When they arrived to the house we were finally freed.

The officer took us to a shelter and said everything was going to be okay. The next day I met Linda from Family Services. She explained she was going to help my son and me with anything that we needed. I told her I was scared for our lives and that I didn’t feel safe not knowing exactly where I was and what was going to happen. Her tone of voice and words of encouragement made me feel so comforted. She spoke Spanish just like us, and that was a huge relief. She asked a few questions and explained that I had been a victim of labor trafficking.

I am really grateful for Linda and the other people from the different organizations that have been involved with my son and me in overcoming these difficult situations. Thanks to these programs I have the opportunity to incorporate myself into society and feel free. These programs give us the opportunity to have a better life, a roof over our heads and food on the table. Without all your help, I think we would still be stuck in the same situation, and forgotten. I am thankful to all who work to help and support people in need. I hope that by sharing my story, more people can learn about these programs and get out of their misery.

This story was written by Ana, an actual Family Services client who is a survivor of human trafficking, and translated from Spanish to English by Family Services staff. Her name and some details of the story have been changed to protect her identity. Family Services and several other agencies in the Central Valley have collaborated to help Ana relocate to a safe location, find work, and navigate the legal system. Her trafficker is being prosecuted.

Tour Against Trafficking In October, the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin organized the Tour Against Trafficking, a 750-mile bike ride through the San Joaquin Valley to raise awareness about human trafficking and to raise funds to support groups working to end human trafficking. Family Services was honored to be among the 10 organizations to receive donations via the Tour.

A total of 72 cyclists rode in one or more “legs” of the 18-day tour, and each cyclist could choose to ride for a specific organization or to split the funds they raised among the 10 participating organizations. In all, the tour raised $54,000 and Family Services received just over $3,400. This donation helped us establish a fund to assist human trafficking victims with immediate expenses associated with breaking free, such as shelter, food, clothing, and transportation. Thank you to the Episcopal Diocese and all of the riders and donors who made the Tour Against Trafficking possible!
