Who We Are

Let's Play!

Children in our 24-hour Emergency Shelter have a wonderful, secure playground. This area is now over 8 years old and has seen many, many children exhaust their endless energy and find joy and laughter in their day. Abigail’s Arms is participating in North Texas Day of Giving and our project is the playground. We plan to replace the depleted mulch with a pour-in-place safety pad that will not only be safe and durable for the kids, but attractive to look at as well. In addition, we would like to fix the sun-shade over the playset and repair the roof on the house. We would love for you to join us on our campaign by going to https://www.northtexasgivingday.org/organization/abigailsarms or scan this QR code with your phone. Any amount will help us meet our goal and update this wonderful safe play space for the children who find hope within the walls of our shelter.

A Survivor's Story

"My name is B.J. and I am 62 years old. Don’t ever think domestic violence just happens to the young. I thank God that I finally found my way to Abigail’s Arms. They took me in, encouraged me, and helped me go through the legal process that I needed. My case manager helped me put together a plan taking small steps to become independent and live on my own. She helped me find a job and a place to live. She stayed in touch with me and was always available if I needed help. Abigail’s Arms has changed my life because I have hope now. They have helped me see that I am no longer a victim."
