"A lady had a sticker on her one day.… the purple ribbon. And I asked her what was it for and she said, “Domestic violence.” And I just happened to tell her I was in the same situation. …she took it off and gave it to me and told me to keep it and to this day... I carry it with me every day. Here it is. I still keep it."
