From there, she and the founder of BTSADV both discovered the need for a helpline based on the messages received through Facebook Messenger asking for help and referrals for various shelters. Once the helpline started\u2014it was discovered through various conversations with our clients that there is a need for financial literacy assistance\u2014how t o read a credit report, open a bank account, sort through debt, etc\u2026after sharing these candid discussions others, a seed was planted to start a financial literacy program that will help survivors get on their feet, and it was named Grants of Hope. As a 17 yr survivor of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, Ms. Davidson uses her experiences to constantly develop programs to help survivors move forward from survival mode to LIVING. Ms. Davidson is also a legacy daughter as she lost her mother to Domestic Violence 36 years ago when she vanished out of thin air. When it was reported to the local police in Yazoo County, MS. Nothing was done\u2014making her case a cold case.
