Helping friend from an abusive man
Donation protected
Please help me make a difference!
I am starting this campaign in order to help a lady friend of mine. My friend moved here to Germany from her home country six years ago. She came to earn money to pay the debts that her deceased husband (they were separated) left when he passed away. It turned out he had borrowed money and as they were still legally married she was also responsible for those loans.
She left the daughter they had together with her parents in order to be able to work hard in Germany for a couple of years.
She studied to learn good German and get integrated in the German society but has been struggling to find a proper working place. She has been working hard in factories and hotels but got fired as she has problems with her back due to a car accident some years ago.
After some time, she met a new man and started a relationship. This man owns several apartments and let her and the daughter live in one of them paying only a low rent. The daughter came herr two years ago, has integrated well and goes to a german school.
Unfortunately, it turned out that this man was married in his home country (same as my friend) and was having several relationships with other women. It has become a very abusive relationship and my friend broke up with him- with the result that he kept the key (claiming it is "his" apartment) and come and goes as he wants, even removing her things from the apartment. Besides this she (and the 16- year old daughter) have both been sexually harrassed by him which have left especially the daughter traumatized as the man still pops up occasionally and has the key to where they live. It is just a horrible situation for them.
This man lent her 2.500 EUR at one occasion to help her out financially. Because of this he also gives himself the authority to do what he wants with her and her apartment.
I am now trying to help her finding a job in order to help her get out of his apartment and get away from this abusive relationship and start her own life with the daughter.
This campaign is to raise the 2.500 EUR so she can pay him and get out of that debt to start with.
I would love to be able to give her this money by the end of May 2016 so she can feel that she is taking small steps towards freedom and a brighter future for herself and her daughter.
So many of us live a good life and don´t get personally exposed to other people´s suffering, although they might live on the other side of the street or just next door, just like my friend does.
We cannot save the whole world but together we can make a big change for someone with our contributions. To get out of this situation would mean everything to this woman and I would really love to be able to help her. Imagine yourself in her situation, realizing strangers stood up for you and your child and helped you out - imaging how you would feel.
Thank you for being a generous person, supporting my friend to get out of this horrible situation.
Everything you give, will come back to you one day.
Thank you in advance, I really appreciate it.
Love,
Heléne
