Hi, my name is Ashley Santiago, and I’m a mother of five beautiful children trying to start over after escaping a long-term emotionally, and mentally abusive marriage.

This has been the hardest chapter of our lives. But I am making the decision to leave for the safety and future of myself and my children. We are currently in urgent need of stable housing, and now, to make things worse, I was recently in a serious car accident on October 2nd that completely totaled my only vehicle.

Update!! We have a vehicle! It needed repairs, but we’ve been on the move! Now I need help raising funds for my attorney, filing fees, and towards a savings for a new home.

I’m asking for help to raise funds for:

Emergency housing & rent deposit

Basic furniture and necessities for our new home

Clothes and school items for my children

Counseling and healing resources for us all

Every dollar truly helps. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign so it can reach others. Your support could be the lifeline my children and I need to get back on our feet.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
