ADVOCATE SPOTLIGHT -
Some people volunteer. And then there are people like Becky East, who give with their whole heart and quietly transform the work around them.
After years of showing up for survivors, supporting our programs, and offering her time and talent as a volunteer, last year when the opportunity arose she joined our team, filling the need once again, as a paid advocate. It felt less like a new hire and more like recognizing the commitment she had already been living out for so long.
What sets her apart is the way she continues to give, even while navigating her own life’s challenges. She brings thoughtfulness, steady compassion, and a listening ear that helps survivors feel seen and supported. And just when the day feels heavy, she’ll surprise you with a sharp, perfectly timed bit of wit that reminds us all that hope and humor can coexist.
Her devotion to survivors and to our mission has made a lasting impact on our agency culture. We are grateful for every hour she has volunteered, every conversation she has held with care, and every moment she has chosen to stand with us.
Please join us in celebrating Becky! She is exactly the kind of advocate every survivor deserves.
