Domestic violence recovery

Donation protected


I am a strong woman, I am a kind woman, and I have an incredibly hard time asking for help but at this time I am in need.
In the early morning of Sunday the 9th I was attacked after my drunk ex destroyed our wall with a hammer while drinking and then physically assaulted me for sleeping on the couch and refusing to come to bed in fear. After those events the hammer was thrown at me leaving me with a gaping wound, bruised body, and locked out of the house.
Thankfully I had my phone and was able to contact paramedics to stitch me up and he was taken into custody. At the time I was too scared to press charges but thankfully our state presses them regardless giving me the freedom to finally process how bad the situation has become. 
I am now safe while he is in jail and I have a protective order on me and our animals.
I’ve been stuck in this situation due to being laid off from my job during the pandemic in the last year while emotional abuse escalated into something much more vile.
We shared a home and now after his arrest I am left to pick up the pieces and mentally recover but also left with half the bills we shared unpaid. Including the fees for home repair and deposits to transfer all bills into my name. I would normally have contingency funds but have already sent him money for this month I no longer have access to.
Your money donated would be directly tied to me keeping my housing during the down period until I find a roommate or if I cannot the time to properly move safely. Most of my utilities have been incredibly helpful but TPU is requiring me to provide a $300 deposit to maintain services and I have to put a deposit down to maintain my internet service. Our previously shared rent and utilities was about 2,000 a month combined I am only asking for the stress of his half to be covered.
Thank you so much and stay safe out there everyone.

Violence no matter what kind escalates and if any women go through something similar in the future please do not hesitate to contact me for help.
