Domestic Violence During the Holidays

It is sad that domestic violence happens at all, much less that it increases during a time that is supposed to be a celebration of fellowship and family.

According to The Missouri Bar, that is exactly what happens during the Holidays--as this page says, if you are a victim of domestic violence or know someone who is, please listen to this podcast, Law in your Life, http://www.mobarpodcast.org/2008/06/law-in-your-l-1.html.

In celebrating the Holidays we are usually caught up in the commercialization of the season. But there are many ways to make a gift that will positively impact the lives of many people. Consider making a donation for the holidays to organizations that seek to prevent domestic violence or help deal with the incredible toll left behind. For example, you can donate to the National Domestic Violence Hotline by visiting their website, http://www.ndvh.org/. And remember, no amount is too small for these organizations and every little bit helps.
