Executive Director Jennifer Blum is a survivor of Domestic Abuse. After 13years of abuse Jennifer Blum found the courage to go for help, however her first attempt as getting help for her and her sons was unsuccessful. The Lieutenant she spoke with ignored her cries for help and didn't take her seriously. Jennifer left that police station feeling like there was no help.Her abuser had spent years convincing her there was no place she could go, no one could help her. Unfortunately, her experience with that Lieutenant proved her abuser right. As a result of that Lieutenant's actions, Jennifer and her sons continued to live in fear and her abuser was able to abuse two more women. -A year later, still in fear Jennifer again went for help. She went to a different Police Station. The officer she spoke with DID listen. She DID get the help and protections she needed for herself and her family. In February 2015 her abuser pled guilty to several domestic violence charges. He is currently incarcerated. In July 2015 her abuser again pled guilty in his second case of Domestic Violence towards one of the women that came after her. - The experience Jennifer had with the first police department she went to haunted her. Jennifer knew that if that Lieutenant had just listened, recognized the signs, and had some compassion he could have not only saved her and her sons from living another day in fear but also could have saved two more women form being abused. -Jennifer understands the challenges a victim faces in coming forward. She also understands how important it is for Law Enforcement to listen. She is dedicated to teaching Law Enforcement these challenges so they can help Victims become Survivors.
Mission: At The Help SAVE Foundation we understand the challenges domestic violence victims face in coming forward. We are dedicated to Educating Law Enforcement and social Work Professionals so they have the tools and compassion to help victims become survivors.

Today Cheri and I talk about the different kinds of Domestic Abuse. Many feel as though if they are not being physically hit they are not in an abusive relationship. We hope to shed some light on this so you can see that one leads to the other.

💜💜Try to Imagine Home is your Hell instead of your Haven. Going to work everyday is your escape... This is reality for many people in our communities that are affected by Domestic Violence; Alone. At home. With their abuser.
For me, I don’t have to imagine. It wasn’t a pandemic but it was a blizzard in 2003 which shut down the state. This was a very bad time for me. For the last 5 weeks I’ve been working with an overwhelming amount of women/men living that life right now. With every call or email, I can feel what they are going through.
I’ve teamed up with Cheri Petitpas, LICSW and beginning this Saturday, May 9th we are going to go LIVE on The Help SAVE Foundation's page. We will be giving very informative information and resources to those being affected by Domestic Violence; this includes family, friends and colleagues. We will talk about a different topic every week and will answer your questions. If you or someone you know is in need of Help, please reach out to us. We are here for you!💜💜

Brian Jagielski, 53, of Tiverton, RI, is wanted in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island in connection to serious domestic violence cases. The defendant, who has a lengthy history of domestic violence related convictions, is under indictment in Bristol County for strangling his girlfriend on multiple occasions in New Bedford and for also taking her to the Freetown Forest against her will and threatening to bury her there. He is also accused of slapping her, smashing a vase and holding a piece of its broken glass up to her throat while threatening to kill her. The incidents are all alleged to have occurred in January. At the time of his arrest by New Bedford Police, he was on probation in Rhode Island for a previous domestic violence conviction where he spent four years in prison. While the Bristol County case was still in the District Court, the defendant posted $27,500 cash bail and was then transported to Rhode Island for the alleged violation of his probation. After a hearing in Rhode Island last month, he posted an additional $10,000 cash bail and was ordered to return to Massachusetts for his Superior Court arraignment on the new indictment charging him with assault and battery on a family or household member, assault with a dangerous weapon, strangulation and witness intimidation. He was to be arraigned on July 16th in Fall River Superior Court, but did not appear. An arrest warrant issued on that same day.

💜Last Wednesday I was working with Law makers on the Massachusetts Domestic Violence Repeat Offender Registry. The very next day (Valentine’s Day) I get the call that Brian (my ex and abuser ) had been arrested AGAIN for Domestic Violence! This is women #7 and that’s just the ones we know about. Nicole and I as survivors of Brian went in and spoke to the Detective on this new case. Our statements were powerful and we were asked to be in court for his dangerousness hearing to show support for the newest victim. We were there yesterday in court and it wasn’t until we arrived that we were asked to testify. We both agreed to relive our nightmares in order to keep him held dangerous until his trial and we succeeded. To quote the judge “As sure as the sun will rise each day, I find this man Dangerous”💜 I pray this is the beginning of the end.. And that this time they never let him out to destroy more women and children’s lives!

On my drive home I couldn’t stop thinking about a conversation the boys and I had at breakfast. This past weekend (3/17) made 5 yrs since I was able to get us out of that house of horror. After 13 of the worst years of my life, the opportunity to leave came and I didn’t look back!
It’s been 5 years since I’ve been touched or spoken to violently.
It’s been 5 years since my sons have heard my screams.
It’s been 5 years since I’ve begged for my life (secretly wishing it would end so I didn’t have to live that way any longer)
It’s been 5 years since I lived in fear.
It’s been 5 years, tonight we celebrate the many more years to come!
Our lives are completely different. I’m so thankful for this, however I will never forget how horrible my life was. I got this far not giving up, pushing forward even when I had no more push..
We've been real busy, but we're still here and have exciting updates!
