My name is Rachel, but I can't tell you who I'm raising money for. I have to protect her identity as she is leaving a relationship after years of physical and emotional abuse. Her partner is trying to keep her from leaving by restricting her access to financial resources. I want to help her afford an attorney to protect her custody of her children, and to provide her with some living expenses so that she will not have to return to a dangerous situation.

She has reached out to local social service agencies in search of legal support, but they are at capacity. Please help me provide her with the resources she needs to break this cycle of abuse.
