Unmute Yourself: Bringing Hope and Support to Domestic Violence Shelters

Updated: May 2




In the heart of Broward and Miami, amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, there are places of refuge for those fleeing the shadows of domestic violence. These shelters are sanctuaries of safety, offering a glimmer of hope to survivors in their darkest hours. Unmute Yourself, Inc., a beacon of compassion and support, has forged partnerships with these shelters, bringing light and warmth to those in need.


In December 2023, Unmute Yourself, Inc. joined hands with Words Carry Weight, a high-school-based non-profit organization, to host a heartwarming event: Wrap for Hope Holiday. Together with a group of elementary students from the community, they spent an afternoon wrapping over 100 new and "lightly loved" toys. These gifts were not just toys; they were tokens of love and hope, destined for the children residing in the domestic violence shelter. The joy and excitement that filled the room were palpable, as each gift was carefully wrapped, ready to bring a smile to a child's face.



In January 2024, Unmute Yourself, Inc. extended its reach to Miami, partnering with Seaboard Missionary Baptist Association Inc.'s Union Daughters of Destiny. Together, they distributed over 120 new bags filled with essential toiletries to the shelter for women. These simple yet impactful gifts were a lifeline for many, providing not only physical comfort but also a sense of dignity and respect.


These partnerships go beyond just providing material goods; they embody the spirit of community and compassion. By working hand in hand with these shelters, Unmute Yourself, Inc. is not only offering tangible support but also standing in solidarity with survivors of domestic violence. Each toy, each toiletry bag, is a symbol of hope, a reminder that they are not alone in their journey towards healing and empowerment.


Your support is crucial in ensuring that Unmute Yourself, Inc. can continue to make a difference in the lives of those affected by domestic violence. Consider donating to our cause or volunteering your time to support our efforts. Together, we can create a world where every voice is heard, and every survivor is supported on their path to healing.
