A listening ear. Guidance in your language. Help finding the right support.

Helping Hands for Nations Inc. offers free online women’s support and guidance in Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu and English, subject to staff availability. The program helps women understand resources and find independent community, legal and mental-health referrals. It is not an emergency service, law firm or therapy provider.

Many women across the United States are quietly carrying heavy burdens: stress at home, neglect, family conflict, separation or divorce, money worries, or abuse. For women who speak limited English, these struggles can feel even more isolating. Calling a hotline, filling out a form, or explaining your situation to a stranger in a second language can feel overwhelming.

That is why Helping Hands for Nations Inc. created Women’s Support & Guidance, a free online program that offers a caring listening ear, guidance in your own language, and help finding appropriate independent organizations and professionals in your state.

Based in Manassas, Virginia, Helping Hands for Nations welcomes inquiries from women in Fairfax, Gainesville and surrounding Northern Virginia communities, as well as women elsewhere in the United States. Assistance depends on staff availability, local resources and provider eligibility.

Who this program is for

Our Women’s Support & Guidance program is for women who are facing:

We especially welcome South Asian women, immigrant women, and women with limited English who may not know where to turn. You do not need to speak fluent English to contact us.

Support in your language: Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu and English

Language should never stand between a woman and the help she deserves. Our team offers guidance in Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu and English, depending on staff availability.

Being heard in your own language matters. It can help you explain your situation clearly, understand your options and make informed decisions about your next step. Tell us your preferred language when you contact us.

How we can help

We offer free general guidance and referral assistance, including:

  1. A listening ear. We listen without judgment and help you understand what kind of support you may need.
  2. Understanding your resources. We explain the types of help that exist for situations such as abuse, neglect, separation, divorce or financial hardship.
  3. Connecting with local organizations. We help you find community and support organizations in your state.
  4. Finding legal help. We help you locate independent legal aid organizations or appropriately licensed attorneys.
  5. Finding mental-health support. When needed, we help you find qualified mental-health professionals.

Our goal is to reach women in all 50 U.S. states. This is a goal for the program’s reach, not a guarantee of available services in every location. Each outside provider determines its services, eligibility, availability and fees.

You can also use the Legal Services Corporation’s legal-aid finder to look for an independently operated legal aid organization near you. A listing does not guarantee that a provider can accept your case.

How to request support safely

When you feel ready and can contact us safely, visit our contact page and share only what is needed for an initial inquiry:

The contact form currently asks for a name, email address, subject and message. You may enter your preferred name in the name field. Use an email account you can access safely, and include your contact preferences in the message. If using email is unsafe for you, consider contacting us by phone when it is safe to do so.

For your privacy, please do not send ID documents, Social Security numbers, or detailed legal or medical records in your first message. General website forms and email should not be treated as secure channels for sensitive case records.

You can reach the team at +1 (240) 653-7949 or info@helpinghandsfornations.com. This is a general program contact, not a 24-hour crisis line. Immediate assistance is not guaranteed.

If you are in danger right now

This program is not an emergency service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.

If you are experiencing domestic violence and need to talk to someone at any time of day, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788. These are independent services, separate from Helping Hands for Nations.

Can women in Manassas, Fairfax or Gainesville request support?

How can I find a legal aid organization in my state?

What if I am afraid someone will see my messages?

Use a contact method you can use safely. Tell us a safe way and time to reach you and whether it is safe to leave a message.
