Saving Promise

Saving Promise is a national nonprofit advocacy organization dedicated to domestic violence prevention and awareness. It was founded when L.Y. Marlow discovered her daughter was trapped in an abusive relationship that also threatened her granddaughter, a little girl named Promise. Her story is about five generations of mothers and daughters who survived more than sixty years of domestic violence. She founded Saving Promise with the intention of doing just that—saving Promise, which blossomed into a vision for the nation. Saving Promise’s mission is to disrupt the cycle of intimate partner violence in at-risk adolescents, young adults, and vulnerable populations and create safer communities for generations to come.
