Laura’s House a nonprofit devoted to ending the cycle of domestic violence, is hosting its annual Candlelight Vigil on February 6 to honor teens like Jacqwelyn who have lost their lives at the hands of their abusers.
Six years ago, 19-year-old Jacqwelyn Joanne Villagomez’s young, vibrant life was cut short by the man that was supposed to love and protect her.
Did you know that 1 in 3 U.S adolescents is a victim of physical, sexual, emotional or verbal abuse from a dating partner – rates beyond other types of youth violence.
Please lets come together as a community and honor these teens who have lost their lives to dating abuse. Together lets educate and listen as Marissa Presley prevention and education specialist, Laura’s House, will discuss healthy relationships for teens, red flags, how to help a friend and resources and safety planning.
