People are telling the world what taking the #PutTheNailinIt vow means to them.

By taking the #PutTheNailinIt vow and donating to Safe Horizon, you are having a real impact on the lives of victims of domestic violence. Watch and read these survivors and advocates tell their stories, and why they support #PutTheNailinIt, in their own words.

“As a woman and a mother of a young woman, the prevalence of domestic violence horrifies me. Domestic violence is a secret, insidious and rampant epidemic that is so often kept shamefully behind closed doors. I think the thing people need the most is a safe place to land and that’s what Safe Horizon is all about,” – Kyra Sedgwick, Actress
“Painting my nail became my secret way of telling the world I'm a survivor.” – Mia Yim, Domestic Violence Survivor and Professional Wrestler
“When I began competing in the Miss America competition, I was told to choose a platform. As a result, I made a deeply personal choice that would not only heal myself but let other survivors know they are not alone.” – Kira Kazantsev, Miss America 2015
“I’ve made no secret about how my family was personally affected by domestic violence. My sister’s memory is important to me and I want to uplift her name to help those families and victims who have felt alone.” – Tamron Hall, Journalist, NBC's Today and MSNBC

Dr. Lisa Robinson

“I tell people all the time, I’m a champion for Safe Horizon because I don’t know where I would be if Safe Horizon wasn’t there for not only me but for my children. And to have a place where my children can go and play and know that they’re safe – it’s priceless.”
Mimi

“There was more pain from the emotional and mental abuse than the physical. Safe Horizon helped me tremendously.”

“Dennis talks about his experience being a survivor of domestic violence and how it impacted his decision to be part of our #PutTheNailinIt campaign.”
