THE
SECOND STEP -
Newton is home to a very innovative and important program serving
women who are trying to rebuild their lives as they overcome the
problems of domestic violence and abuse. The Second Step is a non-profit
organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of domestic violence
one family at a time. Marcia was
deeply
involved
in helping

rest
of
the community, Second Step was able to acquire the property and
it is now a beautiful home for several families in the program.
