How We Began:

On Dec 31, 2012, a young mother, Laura Aceves, lost her life trying to escape her abuser. She was murdered, with her 4 month old child left by her side. At that time, we learned there were no services for victims in the county. The Purple Flower grew out of a response to Laura's death, so that no more people would be without help in Carroll County, AR.
