October is domestic violence awareness month. Today I attended the 9th annual candlelight vigil in recognition and remembrance of victims of domestic violence. The program was held here at Louisburg College. It was very touching to me and hit close to home. My intentions were to just go and be a volunteer but as the ceremony went on I started to get into the program and I was actually touched by one of the stories. The speaker read about a girl who lived in the area who told her teacher her boyfriend was hitting her. Three days later the girl was found dead in her front yard, she was gunned down by her boyfriend. It was a sad and touching story. I learned from this that if someone tells you they need help, help them. People have to start somewhere. Stop the violence. Break the silence.
If you or anyone you know are victims or possible victims of domestic violence. Man or female, should give Safe Space a call, it’s a place to help those in need. The number is (919)-497-5444
