LITTLE ROCK, Ark.- Survivor of domestic violence ignites change this Fourth of July with her nonprofit Hope for HOPE by asking for people to donate money instead of purchasing fireworks.
"I was a victim of domestic violence about five years ago and it was definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my life," Allison Mcgann said.
Mcgann started her nonprofit Hope for HOPE to help victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, harassment, and racial injustice after experiencing the effects herself.
"During that time, I just felt like there was no one on my side or there was no one there to support me," Mcgann said.
Her mission is to make sure another survivor doesn't ever feel that way.
To ensure that, Mcgann says that she needs funding to help expand her nonprofit to meet the increasing needs, and that's when she created the Fireworks of Hope fundraiser.
"This Fourth of July, give your dog a break from the noise and make a difference instead. For just $10, the cost of a couple of fireworks, you can support domestic violence survivors," Mcgann said.
