About Me

My name is Priyanka, and I’m raising funds to hire an immigration lawyer for help with my VAWA self-petition so I can rebuild my life safely after leaving an abusive marriage.

Why I Need Your Help

I met my husband in 2019. At first, he presented himself to be exactly what I had been looking for and used my openness to manipulate me. Shortly after our wedding, my husband’s behavior got much worse. His emotional volatility, controlling behavior, drug use, isolation, and constant accusations created a home full of instability and fear. I became the sole provider who was paying the rent, bills, groceries, insurance, and even his debts, while his behavior became more unpredictable and unsafe.

The ongoing emotional, psychological, physical, and financial abuse took a serious toll on my health. I developed severe anxiety and depression, lost weight, and lived in a constant state of fear and exhaustion. I did everything in my power to save my marriage until it became clear that the abusive behavior would not stop.

I separated from him in 2022, but I’m still struggling with Complex PTSD, which is affecting every part of my life. I was once an ambitious person and thought I could achieve everything I put my mind to. For the past few years, I’ve felt completely defeated, unable to work or support my mother. Not having any family here, I’ve gone through all of this alone.

I’ve made the difficult decision to ask for help because there has been no movement on my employment authorization, which would allow me to get back to work.
