Former Yankees Manager Joe Torre is partnering with designer and domestic violence survivor Robin Wilson to help others feel Safe at Home. JessicaMooreTV has the story:
It's estimated that nearly 10 million people a year are affected by domestic violence.
"Margaret's Place is a safe room, and Margaret was my mom's name," Torre told CBS2."She was the one that really took the brunt of all the abuse in the house." "Something reminds you of it, a loud noise, a door slamming, the TV turned up too loud. It's like somebody throwing cold water on your back," he said. "If you're going to end the cycle, education is the best way to do it," he said.
"You know as well as I do, the feelings of what you've been through doesn't go away," Torre said to Robin Wilson."I realized I could give back," said Wilson. "You buy a clean design home product, and then a sheeting product is given away," she said."We will never sell lilac sheets. We give them away, because purple is the color of domestic violence awareness.
