The It’s Time campaign is about action!

Everyone in the community can do something to help end domestic violence and minimize its effects.

Nobody should ever have to choose between their safety and a roof over their head or their next meal.

Unfortunately, many survivors of domestic violence are faced with this choice as a result of financial abuse.Financial abuse occurs in 98% of relationships with an abusive partner and is the number one reason survivors are unable to leave or may be forced to return to an abusive partner. 

YOU can do something about this.

By giving to the It’s Time Lexington Fund, you are part of creating a new resource for survivors fleeing domestic violence or at risk of further abuse. Support from people like you truly has the potential to save lives.

It’s time to help.

100% of your donations will go towards helping survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence, and/or stalking in Lexington
