FIGHTING DEPRESSION
When someone is fighting depression, even the smallest act of compassion can bring a little light into their darkness. Many times, they just need to feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment. Here are three gentle, empathetic ways to encourage them:
1. Let Them Know They’re Not Alone:
A simple reminder like “I’m here with you” can help ease their sense of isolation.
2. Validate Their Feelings Without Judgment
Assure them that what they’re feeling is real and that it’s okay to not be okay.
3.Encourage Small Steps of Hope
Support them in taking tiny steps forward, one breath, one moment, one action at a time.

3 Major Signs a Girl May Be at Risk or Already Being Groomed
1. Sudden Behavior Changes
Isolation, secrecy, withdrawing from family, new attitudes, or unexplained fear may signal grooming or coercion.
2. New Older “Friends” or Secret Relationships
If she suddenly has older friends, a new boyfriend, or someone giving her gifts, money, rides, or promises This is a major red flag.
3. Unexplained Money, Gifts, or Changes in Appearance
Traffickers often lure girls with attention, clothes, phones, nails, hair, or cash to create false dependence.

Hold On The Pain Ends.
Hope is the quiet strength that carries you when everything else feels too heavy. It’s the whisper that says “keep going” even when the world has gone silent.
Hope rebuilds, restores, and reminds you that your story is not over. You’ve seen it in every woman who walks through your doors,
the shaking hands, the tired eyes, the brave smile.
And yet they rise. With guidance, compassion, and support,
HOPE becomes the turning point. www.purplelighttouchfoundation.org

A Message from the Heart
It is becoming harder than ever for women in domestic violence situations to find safety and support. Many organizations that once offered shelter, resources, and protection are no longer receiving the funding they desperately need. And while the need keeps rising, the help keeps shrinking.
For far too many women, the journey to a safe place is met with closed doors, waiting lists, or no resources at all. They are left feeling unseen, unheard, and unprotected, at the very moment they need help the most. BUT, their lives still matter. Their stories still matter and we cannot let them walk this path alone.
Purple Light Touch Foundation stands in the gap, doing everything we can with what little we have because every woman deserves safety, dignity, and a chance to rebuild her life.

You Are NOT Alone
If you are living in a domestic violence situation, please hear this:
You are not alone. You do not deserve this. And you do not have to suffer in silence.
Abuse can make you feel isolated, scared, ashamed, and unsure of where to turn, but there is help, and your life matters. Reaching out for support is not weakness… it’s courage, strength, and the first step toward safety.
Whether you are afraid to leave, unsure of what to do, or simply need someone to talk to, there are people ready to listen, guide, and protect you.

5 Ways Domestic Abuse Affects Mental Health
1. Anxiety & Constant Fear
Living in a threatening environment keeps the body and mind in survival mode.
2. Depression & Hopelessness
Isolation, control, and emotional pain can make life feel heavy and overwhelming.
3. Low Self-Esteem & Self-Worth
Abusers break confidence through criticism, manipulation, and emotional damage.
4. PTSD & Trauma Responses
Flashbacks, nightmares, and triggers can continue long after the abuse ends.
5. Difficulty Trusting Others
Abuse destroys safety, making it hard to trust people, build relationships, or connect.

Emotional Numbness in Domestic Abuse
Emotional numbness can make you feel disconnected from yourself, your feelings, and the world around you. It’s your heart’s way of trying to survive constant fear and pain.
You stop crying, stop reacting, stop feeling, because feeling has become too heavy.
But numbness does not mean you are broken. It means you’ve held on for far too long without safety, support, or love.
With healing, protection, and the right support, your emotions can return and so can you.
You are not alone. You deserve peace, gentleness, and restoration.

Do you know that many of our children are silently depressed because of the life situations they’re facing?
Some are struggling through their parents’ divorce, neglect, bullying. Others are watching domestic violence, constant arguments, or being blamed for things that were never their fault.
And now, more and more young children are turning to su***de, and many parents don’t even realize their child is suffering, because the child is too afraid to speak. They never know what mood their parent will be in from one moment to the next, so they cry in silence, wondering what else they can do.
Instead of coming to their parents for comfort, some children are turning to drugs, alcohol, substance abuse, or unsafe relationships, even allowing someone to violate them, just to feel loved for a moment or for something to eat. Some don’t want to do any of those things, and the pain becomes so heavy that they prefer to end their own lives.
And then the parent is left wondering, “Where did I go wrong?”
But by then, it’s too late.
Parents, we must pay attention to the behavioral changes in our children. Their shifts in attitude, mood, or energy are signs that they may feel unsafe, unloved, or unseen in the very place that is supposed to be their home, their safe haven.
This is why, at the Purple Light Touch Foundation, we are creating an after-school program where girls can come to feel loved, supported, and valued. A place where they won’t feel neglected simply because you have to work or life has become overwhelming.
We are ready to welcome your daughters into a safe, nurturing environment where they can learn life skills, build confidence, and grow into the best version of themselves.

5 Signs of Trauma from Domestic Violence
1. Hyper vigilance
Always feeling on edge, jumpy, or easily startled — even in safe places.
2. Emotional Numbness
Shutting down feelings to survive the pain, making it hard to connect with others.
3. Avoidance
Staying away from people, places, or situations that trigger memories of the abuse.
4. Mood Swings & Irritability
Unexplained anger, sadness, or frustration because the body is still in “survival mode.”
5. Trouble Sleeping
Nightmares, fear of the dark, insomnia, or waking up anxious.

About Us, For Those Who Don’t Know about our foundation or never heard about us.
Hi, my name is Valerie Kelso. I moved to Texas from England in 2011. I have one daughter and two beautiful grandchildren, all still back home in England.
My journey has not been easy. I’ve experienced homelessness, gone through a painful divorce, and faced trials that could have broken me. But through it all, I held onto my purpose, and I held onto the Purple Light Touch Foundation it means everything to me. I built it so that no woman or young girl would ever have to walk through the kind of pain, abuse, or abandonment that I survived. My mission is simple: to create a safe place where healing can begin, hope can rise again, and lives can be transformed. Many of you may see the sign PLT Massage and Wellness on Rufe Snow Dr suite B, but behind those doors is where 80% of our real work happens, work that most people never see. The Purple Light Touch Foundation for the past 10 years, we have supported women and young girls recovering from domestic violence, abuse, s*xual assault, r**e, gun violence, s*x trafficking, trauma, mental health, suicidal, substance abuse and even cancer. We provide:
Empowerment and mentoring
Prayer and emotional support, ther**eutic massages
Computer classes
Life-skills and business classes
A safe place where women can rebuild, recover, and feel valued
I have not really put our Foundation out into the public much because of the sensitive nature of the work we do behind closed doors. But after my recent car accident, which nearly cost me my life, I can no longer physically do things like I used to.
Even though the Foundation is 10 years old, I’ve carried most of the load myself, financially and physically with very little donors or sponsors.. That is why the help you gave this family over the weekend touched me so deeply. Your compassion was overwhelming in the best way.
💜 Why Your Support Matters
This mother and daughter are doing everything they can to safeguard their family. Right now, they are sleeping on the floor but because of your kindness, they finally have a new start and a sense of stability returning to their lives.
We are still in need of the following items to fully support them:
Two queen beds
Baby changing bag & personal hygiene items
Baby formula
Baby diapers (sizes 5 and 7)
Little boy shoes (8 months old)
Your generosity makes a life-changing difference.
If anyone can donate these items, Purple Light Touch Foundation would truly appreciate it. 817-350-0444
Our doors are always open if you would like to stop by and see what we do, just ring the bell, because we protect the privacy and safety of every woman and girl who walks through our doors.
Together, we cry, heal, pray, and rebuild. Together, we create safety, dignity, and hope.
Thank you again to everyone in the North Richland Hills and the community for your love and support. We truly appreciate you.
With gratitude,
Valerie Kelso

A Message from Purple Light Touch Foundation
Right now, with the state of our nation, countless women and children are silently suffering. Many of the large organizations that receive government funding for domestic violence and abuse programs are overwhelmed, yet the smaller, grassroots organizations like ours are left to carry the weight with little to no support.
Here at Purple Light Touch Foundation, we do not receive any governmental funding. We rely solely on the compassion and generosity of donors like you, people who care deeply about the lives of women and children who are fighting to survive unimaginable pain.
Each day, more women walk through our doors, battered, broken, and afraid. Many are mothers struggling to hold their families together while facing homelessness, trauma, and fear. Some are fighting to keep their children out of Child Protective Services simply because they have nowhere else to turn. Others come to us needing guidance, mentoring, job skill training, childcare, and emotional restoration.
We do everything we can, but we cannot do it alone.
We need you. Your donation helps us continue offering life-changing services to families in crisis with mentoring, emotional support, trauma recovery, and empowerment programs that bring hope back to those who’ve lost it.
Together, we can remind every woman that she is not forgotten, and that healing is still possible. Please, open your heart and stand with us.
💜 Donate today to the Purple Light Touch Foundation, because your support could be the reason a mother and her children find safety, stability, and a new beginning. Go to our website: www.purplelighttouchfoundation.org and donate.

💜 A Message on Kindness & Compassion
If someone comes to you in need, you don’t have to judge them or ask awkward questions.
Sometimes the greatest gift you can offer is help without hesitation.
If there’s a deeper problem, they will share it when they feel safe.
But judgment closes doors, kindness opens them. 💜💛❤️
