Domestic Violence Survivor Needs New Start
I am trying to stay as anonymous as possible, so I have asked a friend to post this GoFundMe on my behalf. The organizer is not the person in the photo, nor is it her story that is being told.
Like most of us, I was looking for the love of a lifetime. I wanted to find my person, that person who would love me through thick and thin, that I could support through the good times and bad. I thought I had found that person, and things started out great. Slowly but insidiously, things changed though. Close friends were slowly pushed away. They'd lose their temper when I didn't go along with their ideas. It was just little things, so why fight so hard? Before I knew it, I realized that I was completely isolated and my partner, my PERSON was physically and emotionally abusive. But because I had become so isolated, I didn't have any idea how to escape. Unfortunately, escape came through their final and brutal assault. This assault got me out of the house, but I found myself in the hospital, now blind and permanently disabled.
I healed enough to leave the hospital, to try to find love again. I thought I had, but I must have some sign on me that says I love to be abused, because I found myself with someone else who was trying to physically harm me. I managed to get away, but I find myself in dire circumstances.
I am in a hotel, but desperately need to be hospitalized again and have access to medication that I can't afford. Once the hospital has stabilized me, I need to have my housing upgraded accessibility wise to accommodate my newly disabled status.
My ex is furious that I have managed to escape their clutches, and is still trying to control my life. I am afraid if I put any kind of identifying information out there, they will try to come after me again, so I have asked a friend to post this gofundme on my behalf so it's not easily traced back to me by my attacker.
Please help me achieve safety and medical well being.
