Fort Bend Women’s Center partners with Houston Humane to help domestic violence survivors escape abuse safely with their pets, offering shelter, care, and support during the holiday season.

This fundraiser will raise money that will go directly to their programs helping to guide survivors as they heal from their abuse.

HOUSTON – The family of a Missouri City man who police say was killed by his girlfriend’s ex-husband Monday said they urged him last week to end his relationship. Now, Martez Hurt’s family is heading to Texas from Washington, D.C. to retrieve his body. This past March, Fort Bend County deputies received three domestic violence calls concerning Jacobs and his unnamed ex-wife, officials said. Their emergency shelters are currently full due to social-distancing, but they are providing hotel accommodations to domestic violence survivors. Domestic violence survivors are urged to call the 24/7 emergency hotline for help at 281-342-HELP.
