Volunteer Spotlight: The Holmans
 This month we are spotlighting the mother/daughter volunteer duo, Monica and Hannah. They are former clients who want to give back to the WCA.
Monica and Hannah are a valuable volunteer pair that has helped us many times recently in our Child Care program, the Giving Tree, the Scentsy Rock-A-Thon, inventory, and more. We so appreciate your support and enthusiasm!
1. How did you get involved with the WCA?
Monica (M): My son, daughter and I moved to Idaho in order to get away from an extremely abusive spouse/parent. We were looking to continue our move forward in life, through counseling and the WCA was recommended.
Hannah (H): I originally got involved with the WCA as a client. My mom, brother and I were clients. The WCA was a huge help for us, so I ended up referring someone I knew to the WCA recently and she stayed in the shelter. At that point my health was more stable and I decided it was a good time to get started volunteering, something I’d wanted to do since I was a kid.

I’m still in the training phase, but I look forward to being able to provide clients with options that could potentially help them take those first steps towards their freedom. I have already been able to witness the sense of relief in the clients’ faces when they realized that they have more options than what they initially thought. It reminds me of how important my role as a Victim Advocate is, and I can’t wait for what’s ahead!
“We proudly support the Women’s and Children’s Alliance of Boise. We love helping women find clothing that makes them feel good about themselves. Fashion has the ability to infuse confidence and raise self-esteem. But, we know beautiful clothes mean nothing if someone is in an unhealthy, abusive relationship. Getting help can seem impossible for the victims of domestic abuse or sexual assault. Domestic abuse comes in many forms and no one is immune. We support the WCA because they are helping those who need it the most.”
