Welcome to Project Floor 29 We empower domestic violence survivors to rebuild their lives with strength and healing support.
Project Floor 29 is a nonprofit dedicated to uplifting men and women affected by domestic violence. We provide support services like makeovers, emergency shelters, and therapy retreats to help survivors reclaim their sense of self and embark on a journey of renewal and growth.
We are deeply committed to helping those touched by domestic violence rebuild their lives with dignity and strength. Our mission is to restore confidence, inspire growth, and elevate the spirits of men and women who have endured the unthinkable. We offer a path to healing and transformation, guiding survivors toward a future filled with hope and renewed purpose. Together, we create a safe and nurturing environment where hearts can mend and lives can be reborn.
We are here to help you find safety and peace through emergency shelter and relocation resources, giving you a secure place to begin again. We believe healing starts from within, so we offer compassionate therapy resources to comfort and restore your spirit. Our therapy retreats are designed to guide you on a journey of self-love and self-care, helping you rediscover your strength and embrace the bright future you deserve.
At Project Floor 29, we know that going through the worst situations can leave you feeling drained and disconnected from your true self. That’s why we offer spa days, makeovers, and barber services to help you look and feel your best. When you feel better on the outside, it can uplift your spirit on the inside. We are here to help you rediscover your beauty and strength, both within and without, because everyone deserves to see and feel the best version of themselves, even after the darkest times.
Gerri Watkins, the founder of Project Floor 29, started this nonprofit because of her own experiences and the experiences of those close to her. Domestic violence has touched her life in profound ways—her mother, sister, friends, and other family members, both men and women, have all suffered from abuse. This cause is deeply personal to her.
On August 8, 2021, Gerri’s life changed forever when she was attacked by her long-term boyfriend. The assault left her in the hospital with slight bleeding on her brain. During this abusive relationship, Gerri found a brief escape when she took a trip with a friend, staying on the 29th floor of a luxury retreat. It was there, on that 29th floor, that she felt a rare moment of freedom and elevation, a stark contrast to the life she had to return to. After the incident, she remembers feeling so ugly—both inside and out.
It’s these experiences that fuel her passion for helping others through Project Floor 29. Gerri wants to provide the same sense of elevation and hope she once felt, giving others the chance to rebuild their lives and rediscover their inner and outer beauty.
To bring our vision at Project Floor 29 to life, we need your help. Your donation will raise awareness, provide essential resources, and support survivors and their families in breaking the cycle of domestic violence. Together, we can create a safer, brighter future and help survivors rebuild their lives.
