Domestic violence is not defined by whether someone has been hit. It is a pattern of behaviors used by one person to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner. That pattern can include physical violence, but it can also include emotional and verbal abuse, financial control, sexual abuse, intimidation, threats, stalking, isolation, and other forms of coercive control.

The number of people reporting domestic or intimate partner violence as contributing to their homelessness has more than doubled since 2020. At the same time, survivors are warning that many could be returning to or staying in abusive situations due to fear.

Eli Veitzer, JFSLA's CEO, spoke of one member of their domestic violence support group whose husband held a gun against her head and pulled the trigger. The gun jammed, and the woman survived. But Veitzer was not able to say with certainty that she did not return to her abuser—a common occurrence for many of the women actively in support groups.

Charlotte Kamenir was one of Jewish Family Service LA's most treasured volunteer leaders and a true legend within our organization. Beginning her service with JFSLA in the early 1980s, Charlotte brought her expertise, compassion, and unwavering commitment to hundreds of older adults through her volunteer work at the Freda Mohr Center, now the Jona Goldrich Center. Holding a master's degree in gerontology, Charlotte served as a volunteer case aide and became a mentor to generations of volunteers, modeling kindness, empathy, active listening, and grace in every interaction.

Charlotte's impact extended far beyond those she directly served. She inspired countless volunteers and staff members, setting the standard for what it means to serve with heart and dignity. In recognition of her extraordinary contributions, Charlotte's late husband, Eddie Kamenir, established the Charlotte Kamenir Volunteer of Distinction Award, which continues to be presented annually to an outstanding JFSLA volunteer.

Known for her warmth, wisdom, and genuine care for others, Charlotte touched countless lives through her volunteerism and philanthropy. Her dedication to strengthening the community was reflected not only in her own service but also through the example she passed down to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Charlotte's enduring legacy continues to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing her and serving alongside her.

Healing begins with reclaiming the power to choose—even something as simple as a color.

At JFS Hope Domestic Violence Services, Gabriela Lazaro helps women and children find their voices through creative expression.

As a facilitator with A Window Between Worlds A Window Between Worlds (AWBW) , Gabriela offers survivors a safe space to explore their feelings, make their own choices, and begin healing through art—without judgment or expectations.
