  • Charlotte Borjas, 2, was unaware of the fundraiser put on by Reach of Cherokee & Graham Counties on Valentine’s Day. Borjas was happy to be enjoying her slice of pizza at Downtown Pizza in Murphy. “I’m glad they’re doing the whole domestic violence thing, it’s absolutely necessary. Thankfully, my husband is very good to me, but my family can’t say that. I’m glad that they’re doing work to break the cycle,” said her mom, Kamryn.
