Donate to End Abuse and Support Mia's Family

Hello, my name is Mia. So one thing everyone knows about me is I'm hyper-independent. I hate asking for help, but I know there is a point you hit when you have to. When you have exhausted every option. When your hope well has run dry. When you can't bear another minute of the hurt, the worry, and the abuse. So this is why I have created this GoFundMe. Every penny means more than you can imagine to me.

So a little back story for you... Domestic violence organizations are very dear to my heart for reasons I have witnessed firsthand growing up. My father was verbally, emotionally, financially, and physically abusive. I have come to terms with him. However, he continues this abuse to this day. Last year, he changed all his bank accounts and stopped supporting my mother and me financially. He basically told us to get out and that he wanted a divorce. We scraped up every dime we could to move out. And you would think that is the end of the story, but no. He stopped paying car payments on my mom's brand new car that he wanted over a used car. I got ANOTHER job to support this new monthly payment we took out. We share bills like roommates and split everything, so her money is my money and my money is hers. Two women supporting each other in times of need. He then called every month threatening to take said car away. He called every month threatening a divorce to ruin her financially. Then his now-fiancée sent threats saying this better be a one-and-done deal or else. He spends money on bailing his fiancée out of jail while threatening his family and causing emotional turmoil. The abuse hasn't stopped. He then gets a non-contested divorce. He shows up and tries to change the terms at court, saying that my mother needs to pay for the mortgage he failed to pay when he wouldn't go get a job as a perfectly healthy man. While he was being financially irresponsible. While he wouldn't allow my mom to speak her truth or get a job. If my mom got a job, he wouldn't pick me up from school or care for us. He would verbally and emotionally abuse me all day while she was gone until I came to hate him. ALL HIS DOING. As an adult, I can't process how you would treat your wife, let alone your child, like that.

I am searching for financial help to support getting a lawyer for my mom to help advocate for her finally and about the abuse. I have FOUR jobs and am pulled thin, and I see no way out. My mom works 7 days a week overtime and can't get another job. I need to come up with 3000 dollars in a month. I can work my jobs and penny-pinch, but that can only go so far. I couldn't imagine asking for more than the amount stated. So now I am reaching out to y'all and God. Any extra proceeds I will donate to a women's domestic violence organization to help other women and families speak their truth. Thank you and God bless you. Even if you could spare a prayer, that means more than you can imagine.
