Her Future Matters
Creating Opportunities for Survivors of Domestic Violence
Her Future Matters (HFM) is a program of Faith Restore Inc; a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization. HFM creates opportunities for survivors of domestic violence to move beyond the stigma surrounding their abuse by developing professional wardrobes as they work toward rebuilding their lives.
At our annual events, we distribute professional dress clothing, including shoes & accessories so she can work toward rebuilding her life free from abuse. Survivors also receive a free mini makeover, tips on how to create a resume, hear from powerful speakers, and so much more.
For more information on how to receive services, become a volunteer or sponsor, please visit our website at www.herfuturematters.com
About the Founder of HFM
Jennifer "Jenna" Espinoza
I am first and foremost a wife and mother of a blended family; we have 6 children together ranging in ages 18-26 and also 3 beautiful grandchildren. I come from a broken family where I witnessed my father physically abuse my mother on a regular basis until she divorced him when I was about 6 years old. At the age of 17 I met who I thought was going to be my Prince Charming. He said all the right things and at last I thought I had found someone that truly loved me and we would build a life together. Unfortunately, it only took a couple months for the abuse to start. For the next 5 years I would struggle with leaving. I would leave and each time he’d find me. I knew I had to get away from this man because I felt he would eventually kill me. In May of 2001, I left for the final time with just the clothes on my back.
I am a survivor of domestic violence. I did not allow that 5 year nightmare to define me. Today I give all thanks and glory to God for restoring my relationships with my parents, for blessing me with a mighty man of God that loves ME and was patient enough to love me through all the battles I struggled with, for giving me a large and growing family filled with love and compassion. I don’t regret any of the trials I went through because going through all of that has made me the woman that I am today. I have a passion for people and helping them overcome their battles. I am inspired by my husband & children, my pastors, leaders, and all the other survivors I have crossed paths with. All of these people are what makes doing what I do all worth it.
