On November 16, my step-grandfather threw our family dog down the stairs for needing to go outside to use the bathroom. When my mom started fighting with him for abusing the dog, my stepdad joined the argument and then started hurting my mother. I stepped in to try and stop him, and he just had both of us grabbed and tried to slam us into walls. When I ran away to call the police, he threw her to the ground.

I’m asking for money now because my stepdad was arrested, and he was the only one supporting us. It’s his parents' house, and they kicked us out once he was gone. I have 3 younger siblings who were around at the time and had to witness that.
