Verizon announced today the launch of a new Android app called Hopeline for domestic abuse victims.

Please tell your friends because one in four (statistically 25 people in the room I’m in right now) is affected by domestic abuse.

Consider donating your old devices.

This is a powerful tool.

Domestic Violence survivor Lavon Morris-Grant author of “Whom Shall I Fear”

Lavon Morris-Grant spoke to us at the Verizon Wireless Today’s Technology and Tomorrow’s Vision lunch.

She has two bullets currently, and I suppose permanently, lodged in her body: one in her head, and the other (in her words) in her “black butt.”

“After being shot I went and laid on the kitchen floor to die, but something in my spirit said, ‘we are not dying today’ and I said ‘yes, we are’”

She is funny, honest, blunt, real and approachable. You can read more about her story in her book “Whom Shall I Fear”. She had not previously been abused by her husband when he shot her four times while her kids were home.
