Through the compassion of our donors, volunteers, and staff, women and their children are welcomed into a safe space where they can heal, grow and find the strength to embrace life in a new way.
But, hold on a minute. Let’s go back to that word “safe.” We can’t tell you how needed – and how rare – safe spaces are for women and children who’ve been traumatized. The places and people that should have been safe are often the very ones that caused harm in the first place, or they encounter judgment and retreat into shame.
Your support of NAOMI provides the resources needed to journey with women in practical, physical, and emotional ways as they heal from trauma and discover they have choices that will allow them to thrive.
NAOMI doesn’t work without you.

Your generosity transforms lives!
Growing up with my family taught me to keep my pain a secret, and to protect the people who caused it. I learned that love meant I needed to erase myself. NAOMI showed me it’s okay to be honest about my life experiences. The community helped me to understand me, so I could create something new for me and my children.”

"…so long as it helps mothers.”
— Marti Hollenback, Real Estate Gift
Marti Hollenback was known throughout the Greater Spokane area as the dynamic owner of Dishman Dodge Chrysler Jeep. Her leadership of Dishman Dodge always demonstrated generosity and care for the people in our community--especially women and children.
In 2017, Marti saw a unique way to come alongside the NAOMI Mission: By donating a small piece of land that no longer served a purpose, she and Dishman Dodge, catapulted NAOMI into our expansion, doubling the capacity for serving women and children. When asked how she would like the land used, she replied “however you want, so long as it helps mothers.” Marti was passionate about supporting moms that were experiencing hardship on top of the most challenging role in their lives. Thanks to Marti’s generosity and creative giving, NAOMI is able to serve more women and children than ever before.

“We’ve been blessed and want to bless others.”
— Steve Wedel Memorial Fund
Steve’s generosity during his lifetime allowed NAOMI to expand and create more safe spaces for women and children to emerge from cycles of homelessness, trauma, and poverty. When Steve suddenly passed in 2017, NAOMI established a memorial fund to sow seeds that will forever sustain the NAOMI mission and transform the lives of women and children we serve in honor of Steve. If you, like Steve, feel blessed and want to bless others in perpetuity, consider establishing your own fund to leave a lasting legacy or contributing a gift to the existing fund in Steve’s honor.
