A little about DVRP:
DVRP’s mission is to address and prevent domestic violence in Asian/Pacific Islander communities in the Washington, DC metropolitan area through a three-pronged approach:
To ensure that abused A/PI women have access to culturally and linguistically responsive resources in order to make their own life choices;
To raise awareness about the problem of domestic violence; and
To unite A/PI communities against domestic violence.
We will have more information about DVRP at the yard sale and information about donations, volunteer opportunities, and upcoming events. You can also visit DVRP's website at www.dvrp.org.

A quiet and studious young lady, ‘Tanya’ causes very little difficulty for her parents. Responsible and well grounded, she maintains modest goals. Possessing a sparse romantic history, she is quite pleased when she meets a man named ‘Nick’ through a mutual friend. Before long the pair begins dating and find each other highly attractive. Believing that her new love embodies many of the traits she so highly values, Tanya agrees to cohabitate with Nick. Unfortunately, she finds herself pregnant and soon discovers that who she thought was the love of her life has been far less than forthright. To her great dismay, this revelation begins a downward spiral from which her very existance is threatened
