CONTROL ALT DELETE

Helping domestic violence Survivors reset from abuse

Control Alt Delete LLC is a federally designated 501(c)3 nonprofit located in the Phoenix, Arizona metro area. Our primary focus is removing the barriers that prevent domestic violence Survivors from fleeing abusive relationships.

98% of domestic abuse victims suffer financial abuse, and this is the #1 reason why domestic violence Survviors stay with their abusers. The abuser controls money, which leaves the victim with no available financial resources to escape the relationship.

Our Mission

We remove the barriers that keep domestic violence Survivors trapped with their abuser by providing one time assistance to help them escape in the immediate time of need. Referrals come in from the police, prosecutor offices, crisis response teams and DV advocates from other nonprofit agencies; with support from our community we are able to provide emergency transportation, temporary hotel stays, hygiene items and essentials with our BIN Bin program, and security measures to ensure the Survivors safety. Whatever it takes to remove the barriers keeping Survivors trapped, Control Alt Delete removes those barriers creating a Society of Survivors ~ one escape at a time.

Board of Directors

Each member of the Control Alt Delete Board of Directors has a personal reason for being involved with Control Alt Delete.

Laura PahulesFounder / President

Helping people escape in the immediate time of need in a domestic violence situation bridges a gap in services. As both a survivor of domestic violence and working in the nonprofit sector; domestic violence effects far too many people to not help.

Martina SpearsVice President

I took on the role as Vice President for Control Alt Delete because I have personally witnessed people needing help to leave an abusive situation. It hurts my heart not being able to help others escape from the horror they come home to every day. So many people turn a blind eye on those in need. I want to be a part of the solution and not the problem.

Crystal ReidySecretary

Owner, Healthy Mason Jar

I support Control Alt Delete because they are empowering victims of Domestic Violence to identify and escape abuse.

Chrysta AndradeBoard Member

I am thrilled to work with Control Alt Delete because I have personally seen the difference that Laura makes in the community and the way she touches everyone she meets. Control Alt Delete fills a need that no other organization I have seen does: connecting domestic violence survivors with ways to get to life-saving resources while adapting to the individual needs of each survivor. I am passionate about empowering survivors to get the help they need and find the freedom they deserve!

Corbin ReidyBoard Member

From extended family members to the thousands of victims this organization helped before I joined, I have learned how much people, both women and men, need help and how much just a little can go a long ways. I know how much Control Alt Delete has done and will continue to do and I am proud to join and be apart of this push for freedom.

Rachel PerezBoard Member

My mother taught me to be community minded. She role modeled to be caring and giving. I am proud to be my mothers’ daughter living her spirit!

Sheila FloresTreasurer

I became a board member because I have friends and acquaintances who have been through abuse at the hands of people who they loved. I know abuse comes in many ways…I’ve seen the physical and heard the verbal and have also seen the mental, abuse friends have gone through. I know that it takes just one person to help others. And I want others to know they can help someone too.

Leslie CamilleBoard Member

Becoming a part of the Ctrl-Alt-Delete board allows me to directly contribute to a cause that impacts countless lives and raise awareness about the issue of domestic violence. Having experienced domestic violence myself, knowing there was an organization like this to assist would have been invaluable. My skills and experience can be just as valuable in helping the organization achieve its goals and provide better support to victims.

James ThomisonBoard Member

No one should ever live in fear from domestic abuse. It has life long effects and I want to be a part of helping people escape.
