Sometimes You Aren’t Safe in Your Own Home

Sometimes you aren’t safe in your own home.
 
We are writing on behalf of our niece, our grand nieces and grand nephews. Donna’s husband, their father, is in prison for a minimum of 30 years.
 
For all of their lives, He controlled their minds, their bodies and their hearts in the most perversive ways imaginable. Then, in March 2020, he was gone. The spell broken. The world shattered. When Donna discovered how he was harming her children, ages 9, 7, 4 and 2 , she called the police. He went to jail that night and has not been home since.
 
All of the children, as well as their mom, have been traumatized,
manipulated, coerced and abused for years. Some have special needs. They all have PTSD.
 
The one and only thing Daddy was good for was providing an income. When he went to prison , he left behind debts that anyone with a six figure income would have a difficult time paying.
 
Unable to pay the mortgage ,her time has run out with forbearance and the mortgage company. Foreclosure is imminent. Finances make downsizing essential. They are moving from a large home with attached garage to a 3 bedroom townhome where Sec 8 , once she is approved, will be accepted. There will never be child support. Donna, a mother with four traumatized children, must forge a way forward for her family while recovering from her own trauma as well.
 
I am seeking to raise money for the family to help with moving expenses, childcare during the move itself, and setting up a new much smaller household. Also a safer van to carry the children will be needed soon.
 
Please join us in helping to give this family a fresh start, with as little added stress in this necessary move as is possible.
Thank you for your generosity. You make the world a better place.
 
David Burggraff and Robbie Rubly-Burggraff
We will be withdrawing funds from our account to pay movers, to pay sitters during the move, to buy furniture and household necessities, and if we are lucky to purchase a used van. 
Thank You.
