Hello, my name is Patsy Arrechea. I personally experienced domestic violence and homelessness with three children. I know firsthand how difficult it is when shelters are full.
Beacon of Light & Resilience provides survivors and their children with immediate support, safety, and hope.
We are a Boston-based nonprofit foundation dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic violence, teens, and families through advocacy, temporary safe housing, and community education.
To empower survivors by providing immediate safety while promoting education on healthy relationships.
Shelters in Greater Boston are often at capacity. Without immediate support, survivors are at risk.
Our Emergency Safe Nights Pilot partners with hotels to provide 1–3 night stays.
Join our resource events to connect with housing support. Attendees earn Beacon Stars.
