Domestic Abuse Victim Helps Others

Donation protected
My name is Michele and my nick name / penn name is Annie. I am a single mother who recently lost her job. My goal is to work for myself, and I need help to feed my kids,  while I build clients for my own business.

My dream is to have a Life Coaching business, focusing on helping the survivors of domestic abuse to deal with the trauma and get their lives going again.

There are victims going through trauma of the aftermath of severe mental and other abuse. They are unable to get any traction to get their life going again.

I specialize in this particular thing and I have a passion for doing this work.
 
I want to be able to offer a sliding scale pricing for the people that need help right now, but are unable to pay the regular coacing fee.

Many victims are finacially devastated in the course of leaving their abuser or being abandoned by their abuser. They need help getting their traction back to move on with their lives.

Any donations you make will go towards helping to bring this dream to a reality. I will be able to survive losing my job and turn it around into an amazing service for victims of abuse that need support and healing.

I have degenerative bone disease, which is making it impossible for me to continue to work in nursing, on my feet all night.  I will explain the specifics of my disease in this post.

I need to start my own businesses, in order to take care of my children and still be able to work, according with the limitations of my degerative bone disease.

This is my dream, to able to help people with my work and also be able to provide for my daughters.

I have a 12 year old daughter who  has special mental health needs and  special therapy and homeschooling now. Her therapist has recommended that I work from home, rather than leaving my daughter unattended in the evenings, due to her past suicidal ideations.

I have an 18 year old daughter, who is living at home and hoping I can pay for her to go to art college. She is an amazing artist and should have a chance at life, in spite of my money problems.

I have blogs on WordPress where I reach out to and talk to people with mental illness like depression and anxiety. I have over 750  followers on my Gentle Mental Annie blog. http://gentlementalannie.com/2015/05/23/meet-yourself/

I also have a a blog called the Lovely Wounded Lady, which is a plcae for domestic abuse victims to share their stories and heal together.

I have gotten many comments about the benefit of my blogs from victims, such as this one which I got today ..."The biggest challenge for me has been to rediscover myself again, believe in myself again, and start to like myself again. Thank you for sharing." 

I have started a YouTube channel for narcissistic abuse.

I have advanced arthritis, degenerative disc disease in my spine, and PTTD in my right foot, which is a flat foot disorder which collapses the arch and makes it difficult to walk. 

Due to the pain in my spine, hips and knees from the arthritis, I  cannot work at jobs where I have to be on my feet, like the job that I just lost. It has become too painful and a possible fall risk for me.

Due to the foot disorder, I am now having to used a cane to walk on any uneven ground and steps. 

I go by the penn name of Annie Mimi Hall on Wordpress for my blogs and also my You tube channel. 

Please help as much as you comfortably can.
