Dans le bulletin de l\u2019hiver dernier, nous avons partag\u00e9 l\u2019histoire de Val\u00e9rie, une de nos r\u00e9sidentes qui a grandi dans une famille dysfonctionnelle et qui a surv\u00e9cu \u00e0 des abus sexuels et psychologiques.<\/strong> \u00a0Depuis son arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 Logifem, Val\u00e9rie a constat\u00e9 que la stabilit\u00e9 lui donne un grand confort. En peu de temps et avec l\u2019aide des intervenantes de Logifem, Val\u00e9rie a \u00e9tabli une routine pour sa famille \u2013 un but qu\u2019elle s\u2019effor\u00e7ait d\u2019atteindre depuis longtemps. Pour elle et ses enfants, qui n\u2019ont jamais connu des repas de famille, n\u2019ont jamais eu une routine d\u2019hygi\u00e8ne ou m\u00eame fait leur lit, c\u2019est une grande r\u00e9alisation.<\/p>\n Apr\u00e8s avoir v\u00e9cu au centre d\u2019h\u00e9bergement pendant pr\u00e8s d\u2019un an, Val\u00e9rie, son fils et sa fille, \u00e2g\u00e9s de 5 et 11 ans, sont pr\u00eats pour la prochaine \u00e9tape dans leur vie: emm\u00e9nager dans un appartement spacieux et lumineux et l\u2019appeler leur chez soi!<\/strong><\/p>\n Logifem offre aux m\u00e8res et \u00e0 leurs enfants six appartements de transition r\u00e9cemment r\u00e9nov\u00e9s, leur permettant de gagner en autonomie et de stabiliser leur situation financi\u00e8re. Les r\u00e9sidentes paient un loyer subventionn\u00e9 \u00e9quivalant \u00e0 25% de leur revenu et peuvent rester dans les appartements jusqu’\u00e0 trois ans. C’est dans l’un de ces appartements que Val\u00e9rie et ses enfants continueront leur cheminement.<\/p>\n Val\u00e9rie est ravie et soulag\u00e9e de pouvoir, au cours des trois prochaines ann\u00e9es, offrir \u00e0 ses enfants un foyer stable, ce qu\u2019elle leur promet depuis des ann\u00e9es, Elle a h\u00e2te de d\u00e9corer et de prendre racine – une premi\u00e8re pour elle. Ses enfants sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 inscrits \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole, son plus jeune commence la maternelle et se r\u00e9jouit qu\u2019il aille \u00e0 la m\u00eame \u00e9cole au cours des prochaines ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n Pourtant, une partie d’elle-m\u00eame est tr\u00e8s nerveuse: \u00abOn va avoir notre chambre pour la premi\u00e8re fois, c\u2019est du jamais vu. \u00c7a fait cinq ans qu\u2019on dort tous les trois dans la m\u00eame pi\u00e8ce, \u00e7a va \u00eatre toute une adaptation\u00bb.<\/strong> De plus, \u00ab\u00a0j\u2019ai peur pour les repas\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>, ce n\u2019est pas quelque chose qu\u2019elle faisait dans le pass\u00e9. Mais gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 Logifem, elle est pr\u00e9par\u00e9e, elle a \u00a0\u00ab\u00a0un gros plan \u00e0 suivre\u00bb. Elle a rassembl\u00e9 ses recettes pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9es de la cheffe Beatrice, la cuisini\u00e8re de Logifem. \u00ab\u00a0C\u2019est sa photo qui va rentrer en premier\u00a0\u00bb et qu\u2019elle va \u00a0accrocher au mur dans sa cuisine comme source d\u2019inspiration. Elle a m\u00eame \u00e9tabli \u00a0des r\u00e8gles pour les repas une fois qu’ils auront emm\u00e9nag\u00e9:\u00a0\u00ab\u00a0pas le droit de manger \u00e0 table avec son ordinateur\u00a0!\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n Toujours fragile, mais pleine de courage et de d\u00e9termination, Val\u00e9rie b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiera du soutien de son intervenante alors qu’elle continue de grandir et de travailler sur ses objectifs de vie. Sa famille continuera \u00e0 faire partie de la communaut\u00e9 attentionn\u00e9e et rassurante de Logifem et sera invit\u00e9e \u00e0 participer \u00e0 nos activit\u00e9s.<\/p>\n Bien qu’elle ait fait de grands progr\u00e8s, Val\u00e9rie voit encore des d\u00e9fis \u00e0 relever et le soutien de Logifem sera omnipr\u00e9sent pour l’aider, ainsi que les autres femmes, \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper les comp\u00e9tences et la confiance dont elles ont besoin pour r\u00e9ussir et subvenir \u00e0 leurs besoins et \u00e0 ceux de leurs familles. Nous sommes convaincus que Val\u00e9rie d\u00e9couvrira ce que Logifem sait d\u00e9j\u00e0: elle est une championne pour elle-m\u00eame et ses enfants. Nous sommes tr\u00e8s fiers de sa force et de sa pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance.<\/p>\n Un tiers des femmes qui viennent \u00e0 Logifem sont des m\u00e8res, dont au moins la moiti\u00e9 ont \u00e9t\u00e9 victimes de violence conjugale. Ces familles ont besoin d\u2019un environnement sain, s\u00e9curitaire et encourageant pour se remettre sur pied. Logifem est l\u00e0 pour eux.<\/p>\n \u00a0Aidez-nous \u00e0 donner de l\u2019espoir aux m\u00e8res en cette f\u00eate des m\u00e8res en faisant un don.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In last winter\u2019s bulletin, we shared the story of Val\u00e9rie, one of our residents who grew up in a dysfunctional family and is a survivor of sexual and mental abuse<\/strong>. \u00a0Since her arrival at Logifem, the support and stability she has found has brought her great comfort. In a short time, Valerie has established a routine for her family \u2013 a goal she\u2019s worked hard to achieve. For her and her two children, who have never experienced family meals, never had a hygiene routine or even made their bed, it is a great accomplishment. After living at the shelter for nearly a year, Valerie, and her son and daughter, who are 5 and 11 years old, are ready for the next chapter in their lives \u2013 to move into a bright and spacious apartment and call it home!<\/strong><\/p> Logifem offers six newly renovated transitional apartments for mothers and their children, allowing them to gain independence and the opportunity to stabilize their financial situation. The residents pay a subsided rent, equivalent to 25% of their income, and can stay in the apartments for up to three years. It is in one of these apartments that Valerie and her children will be able to continue their journey.<\/p> Valerie is excited and relieved that for the next three years she\u2019ll be able to give her children a stable home, something she has been promising them for years. She\u2019s looking forward to decorating and setting down roots \u2013 a first for her. Her children are already registered for school, her youngest is starting kindergarten and is delighted that he\u2019ll be going to the same school for the next few years.<\/p> Yet part of her is really nervous, \u201cIt\u2019s been over five years that we\u2019ve shared a bedroom, it\u2019s going to be strange for each of us to have our own rooms\u201d<\/strong>. \u00a0She\u2019s also worried about cooking meals because it\u2019s not something that she has done in the past. \u00a0But thanks to Logifem, she is prepared. She has collected her favourite recipes from Chef Beatrice, Logifem\u2019s cook, and plans on hanging up Beatrice\u2019s photo in the kitchen as inspiration. She has even established mealtime rules once they move in: no computers at the dinner table!<\/p> Still fragile, yet full of courage and determination, Valerie will benefit from the ongoing support of her Intervention Worker<\/strong> as she continues to grow and work on her personal goals. Her family will continue to be part of Logifem\u2019s caring and reassuring community<\/strong> and will be invited to participate in our activities.<\/p> Although she has made great progress, Valerie still sees challenges ahead, and the support of Logifem will be ever-present to help her and other women continue to gain the skills and confidence they need to succeed and support themselves and their families. We are confident that Valerie will discover what Logifem already knows \u2013 that she is a champion for herself and her children. We are very proud of her strength and perseverance.<\/p> One third of the women that come to Logifem are MOMS,at least half of whom have suffered conjugal violence<\/strong>. These families need a safe, loving and encouraging environment to get back on their feet. Logifem is there for them.<\/p> Please help us provide hope to mothers this Mother\u2019s Day by donating<\/strong>.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-temoignage"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/logifem.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/logifem.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/logifem.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/logifem.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/logifem.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3949"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/logifem.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3949\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3956,"href":"https:\/\/logifem.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3949\/revisions\/3956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/logifem.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/logifem.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/logifem.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
