Restoring Dignity<\/h6>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Thousands of women, men, and children are assaulted in the State of Washington each year. When survivors are treated at hospitals, their clothing is often taken by law enforcement for use as evidence. Assistance League of the Eastside works with hospitals throughout the state to provide essential care items and new clothing that can be worn home after treatment. We strive to restore dignity at a time when these individuals are most in need of comfort and security.<\/p>\n

“My patient wasn’t going to give me her clothes (that probably had the suspects DNA on them) until I showed her that we had sweats, undies, and hygiene products for her.”<\/em><\/span>
\n-SANE nurse from Bremerton<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n

“I\u2019ve never been so happy to have a pair of sweats in my life. Just something small, like some clothes to wear, when you\u2019ve been exposed for a long time, lets you cover up and feel a bit of warmth. To the people who are providing these kits \u2013 thank you \u2013 it helps a lot.”<\/em><\/span>

KIT COMPONENTS<\/strong><\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Each full Assault Survivor Kit contains underwear, socks, hygiene items, a sweatshirt, and sweatpants. For adults, we provide clothing in unisex adult sizes, and for children survivors, we provide childrens sizes of socks and underwear.<\/p>\n

The kit is labeled by size, tied with a ribbon, and\u00a0 a signed note of encouragement is included. Hospital staff securely store clothing until it is needed, and are able to quickly find the required size.<\/p>\n

Hospitals are able to order full kits, or mini-kits with only socks, underwear and hygiene items according to their needs.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”5009″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”5007″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1576552547856{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”5006″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
