Stories of Impact

The justice system is doing the best it can, but sometimes it's the wrong place to go for domestic issues. If I can do all of this in my world, I want to show other people all that is possible. Your support makes this mission reality.

- Charlotte Klisares, Founder

Morgan

I went through the most traumatic thing of my life when I was 27. The CKRET Foundation gave me the resources I didn’t know I needed To help me get through the stressful situation while still having to be a mom. There are so many good things I can say about this foundation, but the best feeling was knowing I was not alone through sleepless nights, through daily anxiety and fear, all the way to court dates, and to this day (over a year later) CKRET is still there for me. I am incredibly thankful.

Heather

The founder of the CKRET foundation is an angel. Her foundation is inspiring and heaven-sent. Since she’d gone through some of the same issues, she understands how you feel and helps you to work through the emotions and the court system. I’ve been blessed to get to know Char on a personal level. She helped us when I was all alone and dealing with systematic, financial, mental, and emotional abuse for a seasoned Narcissist. Char is incredibly knowledgeable and helped me to grow strong concerning the man manipulating me and the courts. I’ve gained a great friend and mentor in the process.

Abby

I was referred to the CKRET foundation and learned about the importance of community in the process. CKRET made me finally feel like I didn’t have to go through anything alone again. To have an advocate help me gather police records, represent me in court, and be there every day afterward as a mentor and friend is priceless. I now know I always have someone to count on and somewhere to go. CKRET not only helped me with difficult tasks, but went above and beyond by showing me care, patience, and understanding throughout the whole process.
