Our mission
Secure the family’s safety—online and on the ground.
LIL WEE TOO continues the work of DVISR, Inc., using practical tools, investigation, advocacy, and trusted resources to help survivors create safe, self-sustaining lives away from abuse.
Founded in 2012, the organization serves domestic-violence survivors, children, elders, and other vulnerable adults with respect, discretion, and persistence.
Volunteer dedication with lasting results
Families helped. Lives changed.
Since 2012, DVISR, Inc., now serving families as LIL WEE TOO, has stood beside victims through difficult cases and the work of rebuilding their lives.
Our work helped secure seven felony counts in a child sexual abuse case.
Our advocacy helped secure an out-of-court settlement for another juvenile victim.
We helped mothers reunite with children they had not seen for years and helped families escape severe abuse.
Our support has included funding restraining-order and family-law attorneys, psychological therapy, and accompanying families to their court appearances. These are past outcomes; every case is different.
In their words
Hope becomes a plan.
“Awesome day in court yesterday! I got a lifetime restraining order against my abusive ex-husband, which is very rare. Thank you for the angels at DVISR who were sent to help me.”
— J., parent
“Once the law can’t help, people do not know about all the other resources available. I had prayed for help and you appeared. What a gift. Thank you.”
— D., parent
“DVISR found us safe housing, food, and clothes so I could train as a medical assistant. Now I have a great job and a place for my daughters and me. They showed me I could support myself.”
— C., parent

Faith & safety
The Bible does not require anyone to remain in abuse.
Violence and oppression
Scripture consistently condemns violence and the abuse of power. God stands with people who are oppressed and calls communities to protect the vulnerable and expose wrongdoing.
Justice and accountability
Love of justice means refusing to tolerate abuse, seeking lawful protection, and holding offenders accountable. Many acts of domestic violence are crimes and should be addressed by the proper authorities.
Repentance and reconciliation
Genuine repentance requires responsibility, restitution, accountability, and sustained change. A survivor is never obligated to return to danger or participate in an abuser’s repentance process.
Separation, divorce, and forgiveness
Forgiveness must never be used to pressure someone back into an unsafe relationship. Separation can be necessary for safety. Survivors deserve compassionate spiritual, emotional, and legal support.
Healing and hope
Healing may take time, but pain does not have the final word. Faith communities can offer practical care, truth, protection, and patient support without blame or pressure.
Treasures with a second chance
Antique Treasures
Generous people have donated antiques to LIL WEE TOO. Some arrived with a broken pane or another imperfection, so we repaired them with care and gave each piece a new beginning.
Each item is offered for a clearly marked minimum donation. These special treasures can find new homes while helping survivors and vulnerable adults move toward safety, healing, and freedom.
Our promise:
Every known repair or imperfection will be clearly shown and described before you choose an item.
Treasures coming soon
Choose a treasure. Help rebuild a life.
Each listing will include photographs, dimensions, condition details, known repairs, the minimum donation, and pickup or shipping information.

Help a mother protect her home.
Our available funds have run out, and a mother we support needs an attorney to resolve a long-standing dispute over her home in her divorce. She bought the home from her mother before marrying and preserved it through bankruptcy after her husband left. She now needs legal representation to present the property history and unpaid court-ordered support obligations to the court. Your help can bring her closer to a fair resolution.
