“A life without cause is a life without effect" means that if you don't actively pursue a purpose or take action towards something meaningful ("cause"), your life won't have any significant impact or result ("effect") on the world around you; essentially, your life will be meaningless without a driving force behind it.” - Paulo Coelho

My name is Tima, I am a survivor of Family Domestic Violence and Childhood Sexual Abuse. Prior to 2016 I had no understanding of Family Domestic Violence. It is the most prevalent and devastating crimes in our community, inflicting deep emotional, physical, and spiritual harm on those who endure it.

Navigating my own survival changed the course of my destiny.
I used the crime victim's compensation I received to found CFVPI.
I am a certified frontline advocate, educator, and program consultant.
No one in our organization receives a salary. The funding we receive is used to raise awareness, provide prevention education, and assist victims with support as they navigate their way to safety and independence. 

Like many successful grassroots organizations, most of our work has been organic and creative in nature. 

I travel the United States by motorcycle sharing my testimony, educating those who dare to dream.
