Who we
are
 The
all-volunteer organization
f.a.c.e.s.
was born of the
tragic death of a family friend whose ex-husband shot her and then
himself to death on February 10, 2005 at her workplace in Tulsa,
OK. Carrie was a beautiful person, a vibrant and well-loved
daughter, sister, and friend, and a talented business-woman at a
hometown company. She was 31 years old. Her husband was addicted
to drugs, unemployed, and had talked of suicide. Carrie didn’t
tell. Carrie didn’t know she was at risk. Carrie didn’t know what
she didn’t know.
f.a.c.e.s. volunteers teach those suffering violence
in their lives how to get help and others how to
give help.
f.a.c.e.s. membership is in memory of
Carrie and others who lost their peace of mind and then their lives
because they didn’t know what they didn’t know about the many faces
of family violence. The work of
f.a.c.e.s. brings hope,
healing, and learning about safety from family violence across the
lifespan to families, schools, workplaces, and communities. |
