Why This Washington-Based Advocate Uses Safe Stays Daily for Fleeing Survivors
A Testimonial from Kayla Voie | Olympia, Washington
When someone is actively fleeing an abusive relationship, time and anonymity are everything. For many advocates, traditional hotel bookings—with their ID and credit card requirements—just don’t work.
That’s why Kayla, an advocate based in Olympia, Washington, and her nonprofit agency rely on Safe Stays by ReloShare every single day to safely shelter survivors of domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault.
“We use ReloShare daily because we work with victims who are actively fleeing. The aliases are the main focus of what we need—especially when stalking is involved.”
– Kayla Voie, SafePlace Olympia
