"I've researched your company's efforts to give back, and I like that you consider your charitable efforts to be another method of determining the success of your organization. Helping survivors of domestic abuse is a cause that is very dear to my heart. It's important to be an active part of the community, in any capacity. I've spent time volunteering in women's shelters. It really gives you perspective. So often in situations where someone is living with an abuser, it takes such an act of bravery to escape that situation. So often it requires leaving everything behind, and that's a scary situation. I believe that no matter how busy we are, we always have time to give back. Your values and interest in your global impact are impressive. It's one of the reasons I am so attracted to your organization."
