Sue Rock Originals Everyone, Inc. is a textile and needlecraft charity that is committed to supporting the lives of domestic violence survivors through the donation of new and clothing. An unnecessary amount of women die as a result of domestic violence each year, this leaves a small percentage of women who actually leave domestic violence situations.
“Our goal is to provide support to the women who have made the courageous first steps toward changing their lives” says Executive Director, Susan Rock. As a creative nonprofit enterprise, Sue Rock Originals Everyone enlists the help of volunteers who design NEW clothing from donated fabric and yarn. Volunteers craft hand knit and crocheted sweaters, shrugs, bags, tops and so much more! Often, women leave the cycle of violence with only have the clothes on their back. To help, we distribute clothing to women living in transitional housing three times a year. It is our desire to do more! October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This October marks the 22nd official observance. It’s important now more than ever to get in
volved. 1400 women die as a result of incidents of violence each year. Close to one million incidence of violence occur against a current or former spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend per year and three million women are physically abused by their husband or boyfriend each year.
