"I support the YWCA Spokane as they look to help an individual and family holistically work through their trauma. Women are the backbone of our community and without all the services that the YWCA Spokane offers, it would be difficult for victims to be back on their feet. The support they provide is invaluable and speaks to my heart." - Emily Peterson
