Our organization??A?A?s mission is focused on an often overlooked challenge of domestic violence, that of enabling people who need to escape lives of abuse, terror, and torture to locate shelter spaces and be able to get there safely as they fight for better lives. The primary resource that The Milligan Foundation has created is an immediate need fund. The fund facilitates a move of location to a safe place anywhere within the United States though purchase of air, bus, and train tickets, and supplemental support to shelters. Our program ensures that a battered woman is able to find shelter and arrive there safely through helping to secure shelter space, transportation to the shelter or transportation funds, providing temporary ??A?A?Safe houses??A?A? while in transit, and providing security when needed. The core mission of the foundation may be transportation, but we don't overlook the importance of a person??A?A?s emotional and mental wellbeing. The operating premise of the foundation is based on Trauma Informed Care. Trauma Informed Care focuses on the known impact of traumatic events from a perspective based on interactions, documentation, notes, and belief. Our services are based on understanding the vulnerabilities or triggers of trauma survivors that traditional service approaches may exacerbate. Our services put forth a program that avoids re-traumatization. The most innovative and ground breaking aspect of the foundations trauma informed care based services, will be the environments within the foundation ??A?A?Safe houses??A?A?. It has been a long known psychological fact that what a person sees and feels affects their mental state. With that thought in mind The Milligan Foundation is enlisting the help of award winning interior design professionals and world renowned furniture manufacturers to help create the most supportive environments possible. The environments that are created will remove outside and environmental stressors so that a person is able to focus on inner healing and growth. Our commitment to creating peaceful, nurturing, and empowering environments is a belief we wish to share and spread to all shelters. Through our ??A?A?Room Angel??A?A? program, shelters can be matched with available designers, and designers can utilize the product that has already given to us by showrooms and manufacturers. Some of the incredible home furnishing items we receive will find new homes via charity auctions to support our mission of getting people to safety.
