An Orange resident who wants to make a difference in the lives of victims of domestic violence has launched a unique fund-raising campaign.
Victoria Butler is asking area salons to participate in a month-long event to raise awareness and funds for BHcare’s The Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence Services of Greater New Haven.
The idea is to have women get their ring fingernail painted purple, which is the color of domestic violence awareness.
October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. BHcare is a behavioral health organization.
Butler, a jewelry designer who recently started Chazon Designs, has created a signature piece, “Heart for the Cause” to sell to support domestic violence victims.
She said Chazon is a Hebrew word for "dream or vision."
A donation of $5 or more at a participating salon will not only get one's ring fingernails painted purple, but will raise awareness and funds for The Umbrella, Butler said.
The Umbrella offers free domestic violence services, including walk-in crisis help, support groups, emergency shelter, community education, volunteer programs, and advocacy.
One donor will win a “Tugging on my Heart Strings” signature piece necklace donated by Chazon Designs.
Butler also said she will donate 10 percent of her sales of the necklace to The Umbrella Center.
For information on the “Heart for the Cause” event call 203-982-4508.
As of Tuesday participating salons include:

| Chazon Designs' signature necklace |
Butler, a jewelry designer who recently started Chazon Designs, has created a signature piece, “Heart for the Cause” to sell to support domestic violence victims.
She said Chazon is a Hebrew word for "dream or vision."
Butler writes on her website:
"I was inspired because I am a visionary and have always wanted to help other women to 'dream' and see their own potential.
"Unfortunately, I have seen neglect and abuse squelch the dreams and hopes of many women."
