Every night, women and children in our community make the difficult decision to leave everything behind in search of safety.

When they arrive at Birchway Niagara, they find more than a safe bed like me — they find a lifeline.

I have witnessed the difference that community support makes: a mother whispering goodnight to her children without fear for the first time; a teenager finally sleeping through the night knowing their mother and siblings are safe; a young woman waking to a quiet peace knowing that she is no longer in danger.

These life-changing moments are why Birchway Niagara needs your help.

Since April 2025, generous allies like you have funded 10 of our 15 community-supported beds through to the end of March 2026.

But five safe beds still need your help to stay open.

Without you, these beds and the safety they represent could disappear.

Please consider a gift to Birchway Niagara this holiday season. Every $150 you donate will provide one night of safety for a woman or child in danger.

If you would like your support to continue beyond this season, consider becoming a monthly donor. Monthly gifts provide a steady source of funding, allowing Birchway Niagara to plan ahead and continue protecting and empowering survivors. Your ongoing support ensures that safety, hope, and a warm bed are always waiting when a woman in your community needs them most.

Please make your gift today, one-time or monthly, and help fund the final five beds. Together, we can make sure every woman and child who turns to Birchway Niagara finds warmth, rest, and safety this holiday season and beyond.

With heartfelt gratitude,

A Birchway Bed

P.S. Let’s finish what we started and keep EVERY Birchway bed open for those who need us most. Please make your urgently-needed gift by December 31.
