Light of Kimberly seeks to improve lives through the provision of compassionate, person-centered services and supports. We strive to empower survivors to live healthy, independent lives free from violence and abuse.
The Light of Kimberly was founded in 2015 by Kimberly Doubt, a survivor of domestic violence. In seeking refuge after a violent episode, she encountered barriers in accessing shelters and services. She found that with six children, she was ineligible for traditional emergency shelters due to the number of children she had, their ages, and their genders. It was at that time the Light of Kimberly was conceptualized.
Light of Kimberly, a non-profit organization started out with a mission to address the unmet needs of victims who were fleeing an abusive relationship. As we continued to do this work, it was discovered that many women were struggling with different levels of trauma related to domestic violence and their need for continued support.
