Sitting at the kitchen table, Jennifer Smith talked Dec. 21 about her plans to make pudding with bananas and vanilla wafers for Christmas dinner — a meal shared among women and children who have become like family.
Smith, 29, is one of 18 women and their children who live together at the Family Crisis Center Inc. of Prince George's County, a safe haven for domestic violence survivors.
For Christmas dinner, each woman made a dish she traditionally makes during the holidays.
"This is a safe haven, a cushion — being here is like finding a new family," Smith said. "Just seeing [the children] safe and happy, fed, healthy — that's what makes me happy."
