Why We Need Our Community Now More Than Ever

Like many community-based organizations, NORA has experienced the loss and reduction of crucial funding that directly supports survivor services. These funding shifts have come at a time when the need for help has not decreased—in fact, more families are reaching out for support during moments of crisis, uncertainty, and instability.

When funding is reduced, the impact is felt immediately:

Survivors may wait longer for counseling and support
Families face barriers to accessing consistent, trauma-informed care
Prevention and education efforts risk being scaled back—leaving communities more vulnerable

For survivors, delays and gaps in services can mean prolonged fear, instability, and uncertainty during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Your Support Fills the Gap

Community support allows NORA to continue showing up—day and night—for survivors who need safety, advocacy, and healing. Donations from Riverside neighbors help bridge critical funding gaps so that no survivor is turned away, no family is left without support, and no child is left without protection.

Hope starts here. Safety happens because of you.
