We are raising money for our friend who is trying to escape an unsafe home situation. Their partner has become dangerously unstable and they need to file for divorce ASAP following an emergency protective order.

They have two kids under the age of ten. Due to the nature of the situation, we are trying to avoid providing identifying details.

The retainer fee for the lawyer is around 3k, and even going through their savings they would still be around 800 short. Our base goal is to raise at least the $800, but anything above and beyond that will help immensely in ensuring they can safely get out of this situation
