On Behalf of 2,190 women in Beaufort, Martin, Hyde, Tyrrelll, and Washington counties who were served by OPTIONS in the past year alone - as well as, hundreds of other victims and their children who will need OPTIONS' help in the coming year - we urge you to make the Governor's Crime Commission and N.C. Council for Women to stop playing politics with victims' lives. Free up funding immediately to save OPTIONS' services to battered and sexually assaulted victims in our five counties.
