  • "I want to express my thanks and gratefulness to H.U.G.S. Sharon for helping me at the most difficult time in my life. Working closely with the Sharon Police Department, they provided emotional and financial support as I took the first steps to ending an abusive relationship. Not only did they rekey all my locks and insure the exterior of my home was well lit. ... No questions asked, no complicated system to get help, just kind, caring folks helping me get back on track."
