About Us

Our Vision

Looking For My Sisters' (LFMS) vision is to be a catalyst in establishing communities where women are protected, life is esteemed, home is sacred, fear is unknown, and domestic violence is unthinkable.

Our Mission

Looking For My Sisters is a leader in the fight against domestic violence. We are the only domestic violence organization in Wayne County, Michigan that provides post-emergency assistance and support programs.

Our mission is to work toward the prevention and cessation of domestic violence through education, outreach and intervention by providing short and long-term solutions to victims and survivors of domestic violence throughout Wayne County, Michigan

- Laurie Moore, Executive Director

Looking For My Sister is able to make positive changes in our communities and to work towards putting an end to domestic violence through charitable donations by people like you. Your tax-deductible contribution will be used to support our programs that assist victims and survivors of domestic violence. Donate today.

Our Philosophy

  • We oppose the use of violence as a means of control over others.
  • We support equality in relationships and the concept of helping women assume power over their own lives.
  • We strive toward becoming independent, community based groups in which women are major policy and program decision-makers.
  • We must work toward ending racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, classism, and oppression of all traditionally silenced groups within the battered women’s movement. These oppressions are perpetuated by the same systems that profit by violence against women and their children and cannot be separated from the overall mission of the Coalition for the oppression of one woman is the oppression of all women.
  • We recognize and support efforts of other agencies and individuals in addressing all issues that help to eliminate the oppression of women and children and the generational cycle of abuse.
