Finding Strength-Single Mom's Fight 4 A Safe Haven

A longtime NYC teacher needs your help. Several months ago she left an abusive relationship after a particularly troubling event with their two young children. The police escorted her husband out of the home, and now they are all safe. However, as a newly single parent, she had to relocate in order to find more affordable housing for herself and the children.
Shortly after moving into a small apartment, the ceiling in her bathroom collapsed, making the home uninhabitable. She and the kids are now residing in a hotel and struggling to make ends meet.
Her husband is persistent in trying to retaliate through legal means. Because he does not contribute financially, the legal fees required to keep her family safe have become overwhelming.
She is trying her best to continue to fight for her children’s safety, but the obstacles she faces are immense. Her world is falling apart, both figuratively and literally.
Any donation you can provide will help her pay for her temporary housing while her apartment is made livable again, will help with legal fees, and will help her pay for medical services for her high-needs child and make sure that she doesn’t miss any crucial appointments or treatments.
Thank you for reading this story. Even a small donation can make a world of difference.
