A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. Isaiah 42:3
壓傷的蘆葦，祂不折斷；將殘的燈火，祂不吹滅。以賽亞書42:3
Through the love of God, Garden of Hope is dedicated to serving, caring and rebuilding the lives of victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking, particularly Chinese new immigrants.
According to the year 2000 US Census, about 374,000 Chinese individuals live in New York City, 70% are new immigrants, representing the second largest foreign-born population. Immigrant victims are often underserved because of cultural, linguistic and socioeconomic barriers that preventing them from seeking help.
Garden of Hope, located in the new immigrant urban area, has provided services to hundreds families through culturally-relevant crisis intervention, individual counseling, support groups, advocacy, case management, translation services, and referrals. We work closely with the community, and has greatly raised public awareness of domestic violence prevention and recovery through weekly broadcast, newspaper features, newsletters and workshops.

適的幫助。紐約勵馨位於新移民聚集的市區，在過往的三年，
透過危機處理、輔導諮商、互助小組、法律援助、翻譯及社區
