A safe haven describes a place of refuge or protection where individuals can seek safety from harm, danger, or persecution. It conjures up images of warmth, welcome, and comfort—like stepping into a bright, open space where you can finally breathe. Imagine the relief of booking a long-awaited vacation and arriving at a serene Airbnb, designed to offer peace amid life’s chaos.
Circle of Love is thrilled to announce the successful conclusion of its 10th annual golf tournament, held on September 23rd, 2024, at Harbor Club’s beautiful golf course.

As we enter National Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, the sobering statistics cannot be ignored: 1 in 3 women in the United States will be assaulted by their partner, and a little less than 40% of women actively seek help in domestic violence situations. Shockingly, in the US, a woman is assaulted every 9 seconds. These numbers underscore the urgency of Circle of Love’s mission and the necessity of their “Healing Hearts. Building Tomorrows.” campaign.
