I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Women For Hope, www.womenforhope.com, has been a long time in the making. I, Pam Swider, have been through a lot in the last few years. I am now at a point in my life where I want to give back and help others as I have been helped. Together with my wonderful husband Tom, we have started Women For Hope.I am a survivor of rape...I went through a lot to get to the point where I am today.And now....10 years, many hours of therapy, lots of support from loved ones, some bumps and bruises later, I can now call myself a survivor. One thing I have learned is knowledge is power and knowing you are not alone can mean everything. Women For Hope is a place where you can find out information, you can find out about organizations that help and you can buy some great products, including Awareness Jewelry and bath and body products, from a store that carries products that either are made by or support women. When you do, a portion of the proceeds goes to one of the charities that help women fight the fight every day.We work with several charities including RAINN, The Joyful Heart Foundation, American Heart Association, CancerCare, and the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.We carry awareness jewelry that supports sexual assault awareness, domestic violence awareness, breast cancer awareness and other cancer awareness, and heart disease awareness.
