I have a close friend who is experiencing domestic abuse. Her spouse is threatening to break items that they share as property, and has made threats about physical violence as well, though he has not yet acted on them.

This person's partner has repeatedly called her horrible names, and has punched through walls in their home. I am afraid that worse will happen with time.

This friend urgently needs funds for childcare, so that she can kick this spouse out of her home. She also needs a damn break, as she has three young kids and this spouse has not contributed financially or even with chores for years. We are looking into local resources for therapy and advocacy, but outside of those resources, her main needs are funds for childcare and housecleaning, which are not easily taken care of via local shelters.

Please, if you have even $5 to spare, donate at the link. I know times are hard, but this person needs to be able to escape this shit situation. She also needs time off from work to recharge, so this fundraiser is for not only the immediate needs of getting this asshole out of my friend's life, but also for the continued aftercare for a person who has endured so much trauma.

100% of the funds raised here will go to this person, who will remain anonymous for safety reasons. If you're a friend of mine you know I'm trustworthy and that this is a legitimate cause. If you stumbled on this via a friend's link, just ask that friend. No amount of dollars is too small or too large. Domestic violence is a terror that nobody should suffer, and pandemic times are making it far more difficult.
