Help Me Reclaim My Life: Legal & Business Start-Up Support

Hello, my name is Veronica, and I am reaching out with courage and hope for a new beginning.

Escaping Abuse & Fighting for Freedom

For years, I was in an abusive marriage. After much fear, heartbreak, and soul-searching, I have made the decision to reclaim my life and file for divorce. This process is painful, complex, and costly—but it’s a necessary step toward safety, healing, and a better future.

Unfortunately, legal expenses for divorce, protection, and representation are adding up quickly. I am doing all I can to manage them on my own, but I am reaching my credit limit and I need help to continue this fight safely and securely.

Starting Over: Building ‘Healing Touch’

Alongside this journey, I am pursuing a dream: to open my own business called Healing Touch, a nurturing space where others can find the peace and restoration that I am working so hard to create for myself.

I am renovating a small space to launch Healing Touch, where I’ll provide Reiki, Touch Therapy, Energy Cleansing and more…

This business isn’t just about financial independence; it’s about transforming my pain into purpose and creating a life rooted in care, strength, and service to others.

♥️ How You Can Help

Your support will go directly toward:
• Legal fees for my divorce and related proceedings
• ️ Renovation costs to open Healing Touch
• ‍♀️ Essential business start-up supplies.

Whether you’re able to give $10 or $100, every donation is a step closer to freedom and a fresh start. If you can’t give right now, please consider sharing this campaign with others.

This is the most vulnerable thing I’ve ever done but I believe in the kindness of community and the power of a second chance. Thank you for helping me rebuild.

With gratitude,
Veronica
