News 12 features Domestic Violence Non Profit Sue Rock Originals Everyone, Inc.!

This was one of the most exciting things I have ever experienced. When Cablevision's News 12 came to Flatbush Brooklyn and interviewed my self and my husband around our recent collection drive for survivors of domestic violence living at the Women's Survival Space residence. Mary Nguyen was FABulous - coming in with her own gear and scripting her piece for that evening's show. Long standing volunteer Ramona Kearns was wonderful, lending her able hands to set up the space.

The night before we set up our venue at the Brooklyn Public Library. The Flatbush Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library features classes in crochet by yours truly at their beautiful upstairs meeting room.

As we finished, I presented Mary with one of our Sue Rock Originals fall scarves - She was touched and encouraged us all in our work.....

Sue Rock Originals Everyone featured on News 12

If this is your first time here - WELCOME. Sue Rock Originals Everyone is the first ever craft charity completely committed to providing support to survivors of domestic violence. We transform donations of raw materials into clothing and accessories for survivors of domestic violence living in residences throughout New York.

Fabric and textiles are an amazing and life sustaining medium. Created in the earliest days of human civilization, textiles are a source of function, creativity and beauty. The crafting of textiles is an art practiced by the entire world and fortunately is regaining popularity in the US with the DIY movement.

We see using fabric as a means of healing a natural response for individuals, especially women, who have left everything they considered dear in order to save their lives and the lives of their children. Handcrafted items retain the care and detail of their creator and these pieces offer great care and support to women reaching out tenderly to a new life. Learning the textiles arts, whether knitting, crocheting, needlepoint or sewing reorients a person to personal accomplishment and pride. The beauty of the sheer variety of materials available is restorative and has been used in all settings to stimulate mental and emotional health.
