Hi, I am raising funds to help me and my 2 children. For the past few years, we've been experiencing domestic violence. In 2023 I was assaulted & strangled while my children witnessed this traumatic event.We were supposed to be leaving for good and I came home to make sure my daughter would be able to celebrate her birthday.I suffered multiple injuries broken nose, a severe concussion(TBI), my body was bruised everywhere, my face was so swollen & I was unable to open my eyes. I could barely recognize myself. I then had a breakthrough seizure as a result of the concussion, I then fractured my jaw and needed dental implants. The abuse gradually started getting worse, this year and we planned to leave in the summer. I was working 60-80 hour work week to save up to get us out. Recently, in April, my partner was arrested for domestic violence, also violating his probation as he was intoxicated. We continued to be harassed & terrorized by my partners mother & her friends.Our mail was being stolen by her as well. Until the courts granted a protection order for us all. Then we received a notice that we had to leave the home, and we had no money and no place to go. I sold most of our belongings, and the money I received I gave to my mother to hold onto. Unfortunately, she was angry and then decided to keep the money. Sadly she didn’t care when I asked for it back. It was money that would be used to help me and my children secure our vehicle and a place to live. We have been homeless, living in a motel for a month. I'm not sure where we will be in 2 weeks. But I remain hopeful that we may get into a shelter as we have been in touch with HAWC, and there's quite a long wait. I was unable to work due to my health during this time, no babysitter, and no family to help. I have been doing everything I need to best support my children and myself during this extremely difficult time. We need a fresh start to begin over again and know we are safe. My children are everything to me, and I need to help give them security so they know everything will be okay. The funds would be used to help keep our vehicle and various needs for my family during this extremely difficult time. I am extremely thankful for people that have been so supportive and kind to me and my children. I was so nervous about making this and accepting help. Anyone that knows me I never ask for help. But always offer to help in anyway that I can.Thank you all for the encouragement and strength to do this.
