A Journey of Hope and Resilience

As a mother of three, my life has always been centered around my children. Recently, however, I faced unimaginable situations that changed everything. I became a victim of domestic violence, which forced me to not only seek safety for myself but also for my children.

There is nothing that anyone can say in order to try to justify what took place to me and my kids. There wasn’t a fight. It wasn’t an altercation. I was attacked. Just hearing my kids screams, them begging him to stop like I was. Me trying to regain strength to get up to try to defend them but being punched, stomped, kicked all over my face and head over and over again.

My hair being snatched from my scalp as he dragged me and I could hear it ripping. My nose being fractured. It taking three days for my left eye to open and I was still experiencing extreme pain with multiple burst blood vessels and I’m still now seeing random flashes of lights in my eye.

My kids suffered from minor injuries but I wish I could of took all of them. I honestly felt I was going to be beat to death and my kids were witnessing my demise. Lord knows I have overcame alot of things but this by far has been the most surreal and traumatic. I couldn’t process what was happening or was it even happening.

I’m only 5’1 180 lbs. I was defenseless. I could barely see blood was everywhere, head and eyes beaming but I still tried my best to try to protect my babies. He just wouldn’t stop. My oldest baby had to run out and get help and she told me she had to think about whether or not she should leave me or try to get help to help save me. No 10 year old child should have to think about that ???

But by the grace of God I have no broken bones, no brain damage and I still have my vision and we are all still here. I kept telling my kids I was so sorry And my son said back to me, “It’s not your fault Mama”. And the next day he told me you still beautiful and kissed my forehead. I swear they were made just for me. I’m just thankful to still be here with my children and for everyday that I live to see. I will thank and praise God.

This journey I know will be incredibly difficult, but I refuse to let it define us. I am determined to rebuild our lives and continue to provide a safe and nurturing home for my children.

As of right now my nose is fractured and my retina is partially detached if it becomes completely detached I will go blind in my left eye. I have to undergo surgery that will take two months for me to recover fully.

Alot of you have asked if you could do anything to help us with anything and to be honest I have never asked for help or been a person to be so openly to accept it but for those who truly want to help I’ve started a GoFundMe campaign.

Your support can make a significant difference. With your donations, I can turn this painful chapter into a story of hope and resilience for my family.

Thank you for considering helping us in our time of need.
