Mary’s Dream was to live without fear, to live a normal life, to love and be loved. That is all Mary Dreamed about. Unknown to most, Mary lived in fear because, like the statistics say, she was the One out of Four Women who will experience Domestic Violence…Unfortunately, Mary is not here to tell you her story.

Mary’s Dream ended on January 9th of 2007 at 4:00 in the afternoon, in front of co-workers and customers. Mary was murdered by her estranged husband, in the parking lot of the Morning Sun, in Mt. Pleasant, Mi.

All we knew about Domestic Violence was “It always happens to someone else”. It was at that very moment our lives changed.

Now through Mary’s Dream the co-workers, family, friends and people who never had the honor to meet Our Mary, work together bringing awareness to the devastation of Domestic Violence and raise funds to help the local women’s shelters throughout Michigan.

It is now Our Dream to bring a Stop to Domestic Violence for all the “Mary’s” out there.
