Charity Partner - Escabags

‘I know how it feels to fear for your life because of an abusive situation but to be too afraid to leave. I know how it feels to be unable to confide in your family and friends or even call the police in fear of how you and the people you love could be affected. I know how it feels to have your every move, conversation, text message, and financial transaction monitored, forcing you into a state of mental paralysis. I know how it feels to finally escape and not have the necessities with you to allow you to rest and recover soundly for the first 24 hours. Founding Escabags was not about starting something; it’s about ENDING it.’  - Stacy Jane

Stacy Jane is the Founder and CEO of Escabags and a domestic violence survivor. Escabags was established to alleviate the immediate trauma of domestic abuse by providing free and effective access to ‘Escape Bags’ in communities, whilst connecting victims with resources and agencies to continue their journey towards survivorship.

‘Escape Bags’ are free, tote bags made by volunteers and filled with the necessities that a victim of abuse and his/her children may need when initially escaping a dangerous or abusive situation.

With the help of our wonderful community, the doTERRA Heling Hands Foundation AUNZ recently matched close to $36,000 in donations to support victims of domestic and family abuse, helping Escabags expand their operations into new warehouse facilities and enabling them to grow their impact on those who need it now and into the future.
