Hi, my name is Joe Reese.

I am coming to you all today with a desperate, heartfelt plea for your support in a dire situation. A mother and good friend of mine for the last 5 years and her young son are in desperate need of assistance as they flee an unsafe home environment. Substance abuse, emotional and psychological abuse, and threats of physical violence have been part of their daily lives for years, and they finally have a solid plan for escape. Time is of the essence, and every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in their lives.

For safety concerns, I cannot name her publicly on this platform. If you know me personally, feel free to contact me and I can provide you with whatever information she is willing for me to share.

By donating to this cause, you will directly contribute to their immediate and long-term well-being. Your generosity will help cover essential expenses such as rent, utilities, food, transportation, home furnishings, and medical care. She has already found a home to which to relocate, and has been able to sign a lease. Now, she and her son need to start a new life of relative safety and security. And they will need all the things that make a house a home. She spent most of her savings on her security deposit and moving expenses, but they are still in need of groceries, toiletries, furniture items, and a lot of the general household items she is leaving behind.

Your compassion and kindness will not only provide practical assistance but also offer hope and solace to this vulnerable family. Together, we can make a positive impact on their lives and create a path toward healing and a brighter future.

Please consider donating to this urgent cause and sharing this plea with your network. Your support, no matter how big or small, will make a tangible difference.

Thank you for your generosity and understanding.
