Send a message of support to victims of domestic and dating violence

Through TakePart.com, I just learned of a campaign that Verizon is sponsoring in which you send a message of support and Verizon donates three dollars towards domestic and dating violence prevention for every message sent. You can read all about it here, but don't dilly dally, because it only goes through Friday.

 Here's the message I sent:

"Don't give up on yourself, no matter how bleak the situation seems. I was just reading how Nora Barnacle was savagely beaten by her uncle for 'disobeying' him and fled from Galway to Dublin without looking back. Guess what happened to her? She met James Joyce and became one of the most famous muses of all of literature. You just never know."

What will yours be?
