I want to introduce my friend. She has been in an abusive relationship for many years hiding her physical and mental pains; that is when she is allowed to leave the house. Her story has been hidden in the closet along side her while her husband holds the door closed to prevent her from leaving. Cash is locked and hidden in a safe while she remained unsafe and unable to access the resources she needs to leave. As she watches her life move by, her husband watches every move she makes. Tracking her phone, monitoring her emails, following her to work, and isolating her from friends and family are his standard ways of control. While he should be watching her back protecting her from people like him, he’s busy punching her in her back anytime she walks away causing painful bruises and loss of breath.
Her story is now coming out and a new chapter is beginning. She has dug deep and has found the strength to reach out for help. She has put a plan together to leave. She has found a safe house to go, opened an account putting $5-$10 at a time in whenever she can, and contacted a lawyer to start the process. It is here where she needs help. The lawyer requires a $5,000 retainer and she has $400 in her account. Please consider donating to help her get started on the long journey of recovery and help her leave this abusive relationship as quickly and safely as possible.
All money raised will be used to help her get away from her abusive husband and start a new life where her story can be filled with love and support. Thank you kindly.
