“Alison” and her two daughter “Emily” and “Lisa”

Alison is originally from Malaysia, where there are no laws that protect battered women. She was married shortly after high school and the abuse from her husband started shortly after the first year. Up until now, Alison was raised to believe that a woman was supposed to stay with her husband forever, no matter how intolerable the marriage might become.

Alison and her two daughters Emily and Lisa were beaten, whipped, and brutally hit nearly daily by her husband and his family, who lived with them. She had no family or friends here in the United States and believed her daughters would be given to their abusive father if she tried to leave. She often faced beatings trying to stop her husband from whipping their daughters with his metal belt buckle, for his senseless anger.

When the family escaped to Interval House, one of the daughters wrote this letter:
"I have endured violent physical abuse from my dad as far back in time as I can remember.  Starting when I was 3 years old, he would wrap his belt around his hands and hit me on my back, over and over again until my back was completely bruised.  As I got older, he started hitting me using the metal buckle of the belt.  I remember the pain from the buckle was so severe that it left huge marks on my back and the pain lasted for a week.  I always wished I had the power to fight back but I couldn’t.  I was also terrified for my mother, who he brutally choked, slapped, punched, kicked, and hit almost daily.  My sister and I didn’t experience nearly the terror my mother did.  I remember him beating my mother’s head with his motorcycle helmet and puncturing her eye with broken glass. My father was a very violent man and he didn’t know how to stop his anger and rage.  I really thought that he would kill us one day.  When all my focus was to not get beat up at home and growing up with domestic violence, it was hard to see a positive future."

As the years and violence progressed, Alison’s husband married additional women, a practice that is acceptable where she grew up in Malaysia. Alison was so afraid, she kept silent and endured her husband’s infidelity, brutal beatings, and his escalating abuse towards their two daughters.

In January, Alison found the courage to come into the Interval House Emergency Shelter after her eldest daughter was horrifically beaten by her father for using too much hot water in her shower. Alison tried to stop her husband but was also punished with violent abuse for getting involved. Afraid for her mother’s life, Alison’s daughter bravely called the police, who would eventually lead Alison and her teen daughters to safety at Interval House.

“I was broken and drowning when Interval House threw me a lifeline,” says Alison. “I did not know how I would make it through another day.” Alison entered Interval House, trembling with fear, barely speaking English.

Alison’s story is one of the worst cases of abuse we have known at Interval House, because of how severe and how long the abuse went on to her and both daughters.

Alison is in constant reminder of her abuse because she only has 4 teeth left that are corroding, due to the major blows. All her daughters ask for is not anything they would want, but for her mother to allow herself to smile again. It is devastating to learn that she is afraid to smile which we take for granted. She is afraid to be happy, but it gets to change and not to be that way.



Our goal:
             As a group of men, women & leaders, we were emotionally touched by Alison’s story and her two daughters Emily and Lisa. We aspire to commit to a random act of kindness for those who will never give up but are in dire need of assistance, such as Alison and her two daughters.
             Alison and her daughters are preparing to start a new life ahead from scratch while hiding from her abuser as he actively looks for her. No one would wish to be put in this situation or anyone. It may be a little inconvenience for us, but it would mean the whole world to this family. We, making a collective impact like a ripple effect, will shine some ray of hope as they prepare to start a brighter future for themselves. We can't do this alone, and we request your support in helping Alison, Emily and Lisa in building their new life. It would be genuinely appreciated for any level of support/donation.
