Saheli 5K Walk – Honoring Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Saheli 5K Walk – Honoring Domestic Violence Awareness Month

📍 Horn Pond, 50 Sturgis Street, Woburn, MA

📅 Saturday, October 25th | 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM

Join us for the Saheli 5K Walk, a powerful community gathering to honor survivors of domestic violence and their children. When you register for $35, you’ll receive a complimentary Saheli T-shirt and every step you take will directly support families in crisis.

💜 Why Saheli Walks – and Why We Need You With Us

Every day, immigrant survivors of domestic violence turn to Saheli at the most vulnerable moments of their lives. They arrive with children in their arms, often with no safe home, no financial security, and no legal protection.

✨ This is where Saheli steps in. We provide:

• Legal Aid for custody, separation, and safety

• Housing Support to secure safe, transitional homes

• Culturally-tailored Mental Health Care to heal from trauma

• Children’s Education & Essentials so kids can thrive

• Groceries & Household Needs to stabilize families as they rebuild

But right now, federal funding cuts are threatening these very lifelines. Our mental health program – the cornerstone of recovery – has already been cut, and legal aid and housing support are at risk. Survivors who rely on Saheli face losing the only safety net they have.

💜 This is why we walk. The Saheli 5K Walk is more than an event. It is a promise to survivors that we will not abandon them when they need us most.

Every step you take and every dollar you give helps ensure that a survivor has:
✔ A safe place to sleep
✔ A lawyer to fight by their side
✔ A counselor to help them heal
✔ Hope for a life beyond violence
