It is a remarkably sad week as we lost, Dr. Tamara O’Neal, to domestic violence. She dedicated her life to saving others. Yet, her life was tragically taken as she was going to work in the Emergency Department at Mercy Hospital in Chicago. The grief of her family and the families of the police officer and the other young, innocent pharmaceutical staff person who were also gunned down is unfathomable. The cycle of abuse can be very hard to break and for victims of domestic violence, workplaces — even a hospital — are not necessarily safe spaces. The devastating truth is that domestic violence can and does become public violence as well. If you know or suspect that someone in your life may be a victim of domestic violence, please help them now. We have two days for getting deals – Black Friday and Cyber Monday. On #GivingTuesday, we have a day for giving back. Please consider donating to @WINGS Program, Inc. at http://wingsprogram.com/ – the largest anti-domestic violence agency in Chicagoland. They provide emergency safe shelter, transitional housing, and services for victims of domestic violence to help them leave their abused past behind and pave their way to independence and freedom.
