When someone is escaping violence, no can be a dangerous answer.
No safe place to go. No money to leave. No attorney to call. No way forward.
For 20 years, No More Tears has found a way to say yes.
Since 2006, No More Tears has helped more than 50,000 survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking find safety and rebuild their lives.
When Miami-Dade Calls, We Answer
Across Miami-Dade, No More Tears works directly with the people who are often the first to encounter someone in crisis.
Victim advocates at local police departments refer survivors to us every day. Hospital emergency rooms call when they encounter patients experiencing domestic violence or human trafficking. Local elementary and high schools reach out when they identify children who may be experiencing physical or sexual abuse.
These relationships mean survivors can reach No More Tears at some of the most critical moments of their lives, whether the first person they turn to is a police officer, a victim advocate, a healthcare professional, or someone at their school.
And when that call comes, we find a way to help.
Our work doesn’t end when the immediate crisis does.
We Start With What They Need
For one survivor, moving forward might mean a safe place to live. For another, it might mean therapy, an attorney, an education, transportation, or the chance to start a career.
That's what makes No More Tears different.
We don't hand someone a list of services and ask them to fit their life into it. We stay with them, figure out what comes next, and make it happen.
And when someone reaches out to NMT in crisis, help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no waiting list.
No More Tears is volunteer-run and no one at NMT takes a salary.
Tonight, 42 People Are Safe
27 are survivors of human trafficking.
15 are survivors of domestic violence, 8 are members of the LGBTQ community.
Getting someone out of danger is only the beginning.
The life they build afterward is why we stay.
Today, Your YES Goes Twice as Far
An anonymous donor has already said YES with $12,000 and challenged our community to match it.
That means every dollar you give today, up to $12,000, can be matched dollar for dollar.
Normally, $50 provides one therapy session. Today, it can provide two.
Normally, $100 provides emergency food for one family. Today, it can provide food for two.
Same gift. Twice the impact.

Why I Started No More Tears
I started No More Tears because I know what it feels like to need someone to help you find a way out.
I am a survivor myself.
Twenty years ago, I took what I had lived through and made myself a promise: when someone came to me needing help, I would find a way to say yes.
That promise became No More Tears.
Today, I still work directly with survivors. I still answer the calls. I still sit across from people at the hardest moments of their lives and help them figure out what they need next.
This work isn't simply something I founded. It's personal.
Help Us Build the Next 20 Years of Safety
Twenty years of No More Tears has shown us what can happen when someone has the support they need to get safe, rebuild, and begin again.
Now it’s time to carry that work forward.
This Give Miami Day, help us maximize our $12,000 match and build the next 20 years of safety.
