My name is Emanuel Francis Zevallos.
Here is a video that explains more details of what happened.
Something horrible happened to my sibling and I would love any assistance if you feel you can help.
I want to not disclose their photo just for safety purposes.
To be honest, I thought I would never have to write something like this ever in my life. The last few days have been an emotional nightmare for me, my wife, and my sibling.
On November 29th, 2025, my sibling survived a traumatic incident of domestic violence that shattered her sense of safety and stability.
That night, she was strangled and struck, leaving bruises and pain around her neck. In fear for her life, she locked themselves inside the bathroom for two and half days, coming out only for water.
She slept on the cold floor for two and a half days. They had no comfort, no safety, and no support. They were alone in a moment no one should ever face alone.
As their sibling, I am devastated, heartbroken, and deeply angered by what she endured. Her physical injuries are slowly healing, but the emotional trauma is overwhelming. She is trying her best to breathe again, to gather strength, and to hold onto hope — but she cannot rebuild fully without support.
This GoFundMe is meant to give my sibling 90 days of safety and stability so she can recover, access trauma care, secure safe housing, and prepare to return to work. She plans on working once they’re ready, but right now they urgently need a foundation beneath them.
I am asking family, friends, and compassionate strangers to help us create that foundation.
Every donation — no matter the size — tells my sibling, “You are not alone. You deserve to heal.”
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for believing in my sibling’s future.
