Hi, my name is Emma Piscitelli and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart but a hopeful spirit.

I am in the process of leaving a domestic violence situation, something I never imagined I’d go through. Now, with great courage and support, I’m taking the hardest but most important step, leaving for good.

I need help to make it out safely and quickly.

My lease ends on June 11, and my former partner who contributed to the rent is no longer in the picture. The many unexpected costs that come with starting over: moving expenses, deposits for a new place, transportation, basic furniture, and necessities.

Every dollar you give will help me:

* Cover the remaining rent and avoid eviction or debt

* Secure a safe new place to live

* Begin to rebuild a life of peace and independence

This isn't easy to share, but I know that asking for help is the only thing I can do right now. Speaking up and asking for support is a way of reclaiming my power and ensuring my safety.

If you’re unable to donate, I understand—and would deeply appreciate you sharing this with others.

Thank you for standing with me as I choose safety, healing, and a new beginning.

With gratitude,

Emma Piscitelli
