The greatest journeys begin with a single step.

{This beautiful message of healing and empowerment was the winning entry in a contest for the participants & friends of Raphael House of Portland. For this reason please understand no text customization is available for this special piece and design choices are limited.}

At Korena Loves, we believe in giving gifts as unique and special as those receiving them. We also believe in giving back. ♥ One of the ways we do this is through supporting our local hometown charity Raphael House of Portland. Learn more about them below.

| RAPHAEL HOUSE OF PORTLAND: OUR STORY |

Founded in 1977, Raphael House of Portland is a multi-faceted domestic violence agency dedicated to fighting the causes and effects of intimate partner violence in a variety of ways. We offer emergency shelter in a confidential location, a 24-hour access line, housing assistance, and ongoing supportive programming, and also work to bring an end to violence through community outreach and education.

We believe that everyone deserves to live a life free from violence. The mission of Raphael House is to engage our entire community in non-violent living through advocacy, education, and community outreach, and by providing a safe haven from domestic violence.

Raphael House of Portland believes that domestic violence is a pattern of coercive tactics that can include physical, psychological, sexual, economic, and emotional abuse, perpetrated by one person against an intimate partner, with the goal of establishing and maintaining power and control.

As we work to change these patterns of control and oppression, we embrace the following values:

► Survivor-centered advocacy and decision making
► Recognizing and adapting to an ever-changing spectrum of strengths and needs in ourselves and our program participants
► Constantly striving to ensure safety and confidentiality for the survivors we serve and for our staff, volunteers, and supporters
► Collaborating with survivors and our community to address a wide range of oppressive behaviors through social change
