| - This amazing venue is such a valuable community asset!
This charity-run cozy room serves as the public end of an effective mode of transition for victims of domestic violence. While serving teas, coffees, Latte's & desserts, this Cup O Karma - NATN organization provides housing, counseling, and job training for victims of domestic violence.
This is such a needed remedial option for victims (mostly women and their children) to have a safe place to go, get educated about the causes & solutions to domestic violence, & acquire on the job training for marketable skills.
Many people associated w/ Cup O Karma are survivors of domestic violence. I am personally a survivor. I was in an abusive marriage in the early 1980s & there was NO program available in that community (SLO, CA) at that time. It took some severe incidences to cause me to earnestly seek getting out - which is very difficult to do w/o help.
Domestic violence is passed on from parents (who were often abused as youngsters) to their children or young relatives - it's a cyclic psychological situation. Abused people contribute to their children becoming abused --- because the children grow up seeing abuse as a normal behavior in their environs - and are conditioned to become further players in this dirty game.
If you know of anyone who you think may be a victim of domestic violence, please get them in touch with us....

I have been hosting & providing musical entertainment in the form of Open Mic- Jam - Poetry Slam at the Mesa coffee shop every month for 3 and 1/2 years. I have met many wonderful people, and been of encouragement to many women in the program, various performers, poets, & musicians, too!
Now that the Mesa coffee shop is closing (due to high overhead), we seek a new location.
We are hopeful for a Tempe location - w' collaboration from the Tempe Government.
In the time being, we have a new monthly gifting program - just $5 or more a month - to go toward opening our Tempe shop.
We have a nice smaller service area located inside the Chandler Public Library.
