October is Domestic Abuse Awareness Month
The Womens Center of Crossroads Mission Nogales is in need of repair. The 2900 sq. ft. residential center houses 20 women who are recovering from domestic abuse. The center is currently uninhabitable. “The Womens center needs repair of the HVAC and plumbing, flooring repair and painting is needed, plus repair to the roof,” said Alejandra Martinez, Director of the Crossroads Nogales Mission, “The women in the domestic abuse program cannot stay in the center in its current condition and have been relocated.”
Women from all communities of Arizona have entered into the program to heal from domestic abuse. The exact location of the Womens Center cannot be disclosed due to the sensitive nature of domestic abuse.

A Nowhere Man and Whiskey Girl Kind of Love
By Cassina Farley
November 1, 2013
The one thing that struck me was how these musicians looked at each other when they played. They were so very much in love. The news of their tragic deaths hit me in the heart.
