Help Bartholomew and Emma Escape to Safety

Donation protected



Greetings! I'm Bartholomew Skinger, and this is my princess Emma. We are struggling to meet our goal to move to Arizona from Lakeland, FL. This was supposed to take place months ago, and it's just been delay upon delay, mostly for medical reasons. They don't know what is causing it, but I broke out in a series of boils up and down my legs, found new embolisms in my lungs, and just recently an aneurysm in my heart.

Emma and I are due to make a cross-country journey in my vehicle, making stops at campgrounds along the way to save money. We were all ready to depart yesterday as I had gotten my social security check. I am a disabled veteran. Unfortunately, on my way back from picking up McD's breakfast, my car went completely dead in the middle of an intersection and I am now looking at around a $1000 starter/alternator repair.

I am going through a bitter divorce after ten years of marriage. My husband checked out on me after two years and started using hard-core drugs heavily and cheating on me. Until I can get out of here, I am stuck living with a using addict, another using roommate, and his friend always over while they all party. I am hanging by a thread, and desperately need to escape this harmful environment. Please help us if you can. Thank you for your time in reading this, and if you do make a donation, Emma and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your donation will be used for auto repair, gas and meals on the trip, and campground site rentals. Be blessed, y'all.
