My sister is a survivor who has been through hell and was almost murdered by her ex-husband.
For years, my 36-year-old sister, Allison has lived a real-life nightmare. Her sadistic, psychopathic husband has meant she fears for her life and those of her four children.
After years of abuse, Allison took the courageous step of leaving her tormentor and filing for a divorce. Her abuser swore he would murder her.
Since then, he's been in jail multiple times for repeated assaults on Allison, even after she filed a restraining order.
The system has continually failed Allison. Each time her abuser was sent to jail, he was released on bond the next day. Then, on April 25 he almost kept his promose to murder her.
After continued escalating stalking and threats (all of which were reported ot the police) he broke into our mom's home (where Allison and her children were staying).
Like a coward, he hid in the attic in the garage for nearly 12 hours until she arrived home.
He planned to kill Allison, leaving her children without a mother.
He ambushed her with a buck knife, but Allison and her children are warriors - and together they fought him off.
She was received multiple stab wounds to her abdomen, leg, and hands in the process. Read the official charges and account of the attempt on Allison's life here.
The system has failed her and her family. It took this brutal attack, one that nearly cost Allison her life and landed her in the ER, for her abuser to get put behind bars on felony charges, and a bond too high for even his parents to bail him out (so we hope).
While she waits for her attacker to stand trial, we are helping Allison and her children rebuild their life.
They have been forced to start again from scratch after years of unimaginable trauma and pain. Her house is in her abuser's name, and has control of their finances.
For those looking to offer their support Allison and her family and help them get the fresh start they deserve, please consider making a donation to this GoFundMe campaign. We have set an initial goal of $5,000 to cover the many expenses the family will incur over the months to come.
