Making a Difference

Donations

We are proud to say that 100% of your contribution will be put towards the development and planning of infrastructure required to bring a physical shelter to Cochrane for the security and safety of our local women and their children  in need. Cochrane's Big Hill Haven Women's Emergency Shelter will count on fundraising this year for nearly 80% of the costs required for initial research, planning and start-up, relying on support from public organizations, corporations and individual's donations.

We know family violence and abuse has no boundaries and happens even her in this beautiful town of ours and surrounding areas. It is a global dilemma and a community issue that can only be solved if everyone gets involved and Takes A Stand.
