Wow, that was very moving for me. My father would hit my mom when I was younger. Many times she would take us kids, and we would leave, but she always went back, time and again. Finally, we moved way up north, so that she couldn't go back to him. I'm still amazed at the strength she had to do that. Thank you
I lived through the exact situation you described with my parents. My mother always stayed because she had no where to go. She has been sick most of my life and we just couldn't make it. If I had a cent to my name, this is the charity my money would go to. Best P4A video I've seen. Thank you Jake. It was amazing.
safeplace is on my regular donation list, and they were my P4A topic last year. the services they provide are broad and powerful. thank you for supporting them!
I have to confess that before watching this video, I never really understood why it can be so hard for some people to leave an abusive relationship. You made it crystallize in my head in a way that no one else ever has. Thank you.
Huge props go to you for stepping out of your comfort zone for an extremely worthy cause. My father was abusive and my mom and sisters and I could have used a place like this ourselves. Thanks for sharing this information and for contributing to P4A. You definitely didn't forget to be awesome.
I'd always been focusing on charities dealing with third-world countries and such, but this video really made me see the importance of the issues we have here at home. This charity is amazing and deserves every penny it gets.
This is an amazing video. You presented your subject perfectly and the backround music helps to amplify the chord that you strike in all of our hearts. dftba.
It is hard to look for the light when you are so lost in the darkness. Safeplace is a truly beautiful charity. I will definitely be donating for others as Christmas gifts. There is nothing better than finding your niche in the change that you made today. I uploaded a video on TWLOHA in the hopes that others can see the light and guide those that are so desperately searching.
this is something that really does matter. Thank you for talking about it. And about why it's so hard for these women to leave.. People always say well she could just leave any time why does she stay if she's treated that way. And this is exactly why. You are awesome!
@macandbunny the real problem is that having a safe place is an amazing privilege. in our own safety and comfort, we forget that it's a privilege not everyone can afford.
For someone who claims they are more uncomfortable talking about serious things that matter, you were really good delivering this video. Great video! DFTBA!
I beg to differ with the tags. You did by NO means fail at communications when it actually mattered. Out of all the P4A videos I've seen, this one was actually one of the most powerful. Because you seemed kind of uncomfortable talking about it but talked about it anyways, it made me believe that you really do care enough about this organization to push through that discomfort. Props to you, sir. Props.
0 dislikes, for once I am proud of the youtube community. An amazing video and an amazing cause, you obviously cared so much - it made me close to tears
Dude, from the first time I have had interaction with you, I realized, "Hey, this is a real person, with real passion and aspiration." I have a lot of respect for you and even more so after this video. My adopted sister was in a horribly abusive home before she came to be part of our family. If this existed for her, she would not bear the scars she has today hopefully. Give generously people, think about it, what if it were you and if it is, please, get help now, do not wait!
This was very touching! I wish I could donate today!... but I've saved this video and I will donate soon! thank you so much for showing me this! DFTBA! You are awesome!
It is clear that you are very passionate about this cause and I hope that this video reaches out to anyone that needs it and to anyone that can donate, thanks.
jake, i respect/admire you even more than i thought was possible. you are a genuinely fine human being. thank you for bringing this difficult topic into the open and for supporting this excellent charity.
Wow, that was very moving for me.
My father would hit my mom when I was younger. Many times she would take us kids, and we would leave, but she always went back, time and again. Finally, we moved way up north, so that she couldn't go back to him. I'm still amazed at the strength she had to do that. Thank you
wonderful message. it's so encouraging to hear from people who truly care about these things and want to help.
Absolutely gorgeous. Eloquent and moving and by no means patronizing (which is so hard to do, and you accomplished so perfectly.)
Thank you!

I helped my friend escape her abusive father by taking her to a safe place. This video touched home for me, thank you for choosing it as your charity.
What a beautiful, heartfelt video! I'll make a donation to a shelter here in the Netherlands.
Thank you for making this!
first project for awesome video today to make me cry. really beautiful.

This made me cry, and this is an organization that is close to my heart. Thank you for making this video.

I don't think I have ever heard it explained better; why someone stays in an abusive relationship. Very good video. Thanks.
safeplace is on my regular donation list, and they were my P4A topic last year. the services they provide are broad and powerful. thank you for supporting them!
Jake Jarvi, you are a magnificent speaker of words.
So long as we live among men, let us cherish humanity.

Incredible. Touching. You certainly broke your mold today.

Thank you for your courage and passion, and for talking about things that matter. DFTBA, good sir Jarvi.

You, sir, have not forgotten to be awesome.
there's definitely a great need for organizations like these.
I love the music in the background. So soothing.
This was lovely. Very heartfelt and moving.
This is a wonderful, wonderful video and I am amazedby the honesty and how obvious it is that you care so deeply.
This was particularly beautiful and heartfelt. Thank you.
It's been over 7 months since you posted this video and I still feel like crying every time I watch it. It truly has shaken me to the core.
Thank you, this is a wonderful charity, and beautiful message.

I am so happy that you have posted something so personal for us. I hope that this helps to raise awareness.
A safe place is a basic right, and everyone deserve this
You don't need fancy images. Seeing how much you care is more than enough.
Now this is what I call a project for awesome.
Seriously, you did a great job. You don't always need to be flashy or funny, you just have to care. I will donate to them because of this video.
This was wonderful and excellent and beautiful. Happy P4A and DFTBA!
I'm in tears watching this
sounds like this issue is really close to your heart, which makes the video all the more genuine. thanks for sharing. DFTBA.
