Advocates United for Humanity hosts grand opening

At the stroke of midnight, November 15, a beautiful bouquet of multi-colored balloons will be released to celebrate the grand opening of Advocates United for Humanity, and to celebrate a very special and dedicated advocate's birthday, Lee Roberts.

Regardless of the myth; violence affects everyone. It's hard to rationalize but statistics show 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be molested by the age of 18, every 10 seconds a child is abused, 1 in 4 women will experience some form of domestic violence in her lifetime, more than 160,000 kids stay home from school daily to avoid being bullied, 5 children die each day from abuse or neglect, an animal is abused every 10 seconds and suicide is the 10th leading cause of death for Americans. Sadly, these statistics are high and on the rise. 

There seems to be no end to this violent outrage, but these leading ladies have taken a stand to do their part and speak out. Laurie Ann Smith, Lee Roberts and Donna M. Kshir are all well known for their work and dedication to fighting for children's rights. Each have over a decade of hand's on experience in the field of advocacy work, as well as each are certified advocates and mandated reporters. They have seen firsthand how violence destroys lives. They know all too well the affect violence can have on children, as well as adults and animals.

Advocates United for Humanity provides vital resources for those in need; bullying, child abuse, domestic violence, what to do if your child goes missing, rape, suicide and to prevent animal cruelty. Their first national campaign is a free mobile app, "AdvUnited4Human." The app provides free local and state hotlines phone numbers and assistance to those affected by violence and abuse. It also provides resources to make an anonymous report of abuse, threats, violence and other potentially dangerous situations.

Advocates United for Humanity is based out of Renovo, Pennsylvania with offices in Crestview, Florida and Calgary, AB Canada. Their goal is to be a voice for all mankind and provide vital resources to those in need. Currently these leading ladies have been invited to attend several local and state level events to speak out against violence.
