Testimonials

My experience at Serenity House has been an amazing one. They took me in, in my desperate time of need. All the women who live there helped me through certain experiences and really helped me shape and mold the type of woman I want to be. Although I’m still taking it day by day, I now have an optimistic attitude toward my future. I realize from being here that I need to be content and I want to be happy. Even though I may not know how to get to my destination, I know that I never will stop and will try my hardest to persevere.

Reaching out and asking for help is in itself such a terrifying experience. But going into a shelter is another monster entirely. When I got to DAWN, I had no idea what to expect aside from physical safety and maybe being able to talk about my situation. But not only do I feel safe, but I have also alleviated so much stress and pain from talking with others. I hope everyone who passes through DAWN is able to find peace and safety.

      1976

      Eight women in Stockton
      came together with a shared vision.

      From a Garage Sale to a Movement

      In 1976, eight women in Stockton came together with a shared vision and a simple act of courage. With just $275 raised through a neighborhood garage sale, they created a lifeline for women and children experiencing violence at a time when few resources existed.

      Fifty years later, that grassroots effort has grown into PREVAIL San Joaquin County’s leading provider of comprehensive, survivor-centered services supporting thousands of individuals and families each year on their journey from crisis to healing and empowerment.
