Questions from Surveys -PVCC-MCC-Premier High School

Our sincerest apologies that we are just now answering some questions from the surveys. The good news is that we have been so busy with presentations and exhibit tables we have had to table answering questions until now. So Thank You for your patience and understanding....

So lets get on with the questions:

How long did it take you to get the law passed? The passing of Kaity's Law was a team effort started by the Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence (AZCADV) and former Senator Jonathan Paton. Bobbi Sudberry, on a personal level, was brought in to share Kaity's Story in an effort to help the committee realize the need for such a law due to the tragedy her family faced. The AZCADV had tried for a few years to get this law passed.

If a bill is not met with opposition and passes through both parties it is a matter of months. Unfortunately, this law met with opposition and it took years and the loss of a beautiful life to get it passed.

When will your next presentation be? We schedule presentations all the time at various venues around the state. Some are open to the public. We are hoping to work with certain businesses this next year to provide presentations to the general public. We will be sure to mention when a presentation is open to the public on our Current Events page. Please check our website www.kaitysway.org/events for a current listing of scheduled presentations.

How did you move on from this? I am not so sure that we have moved on from the loss of Kaity, but we have come to terms with our loss. Creating Kaity's Way in her honor has helped with this. We also have a certain belief and faith that allows us some peace of mind.

Do you still have any resentment towards Daniel? No, he was forgiven long ago. Anger and resentment is exhausting and robs a person of too much energy. Instead we put all our energy into something good, Kaity's Way!

Faith House Visit

On September 13, 2011 Kaity's Way visited Faith House once again to share Kaity's Story with the residents. This was an adult group of women that have exited an abusive relationship and are doing what they can to get their lives back on track for them and their children. Keep on steppin ladies because your are going to make it! Kudo's to you for making that difficult and all important first step to a life of No More abuse.

100% of the Faith House residents that heard Kaity's Story this time believe that it would be helpful if more adults were educated about Teen Dating Violence and believe they would recognize the signs of a violent teen dating relationship.

There was also one question..... Howe did we start your non-profit organization..... with lots of Passion and we used the Book "How to form a Non Profit Corporation" published by Nolo's.... this book is worth its weight in gold if you are wanting to start a non profit.
