Help Haley and Athena Escape Domestic Violence

Help Haley and Her Daughter Athena Escape the Cycle of Domestic Violence and Start a New Life

Hello, everyone. We are reaching out on behalf of Haley Newell, a resilient survivor of domestic violence, and her one-year-old daughter, Athena. Haley’s story is one of courage, strength, and perseverance in the face of unimaginable hardship, and she now urgently needs your help to rebuild her life.

Haley's Story

Haley’s life has been shaped by strength from the very beginning. As a young girl, her family made the dangerous journey from Vietnam to escape hardship and find freedom. The journey was fraught with pain and loss; Haley's family faced starvation, threats, and even the tragic loss of one of her older sisters, who was abducted during their escape. Finally, after years of struggle, Haley and her family reached the United States and became legal citizens.

Though Haley found success and joy as a hairdresser, her life took a difficult turn when she became involved with an abusive man. Over the past year, Haley has endured both mental and physical abuse at his hands. Despite the pain and danger, Haley found the strength to fight back and leave him. But this has left her and her daughter with nothing. Haley wants a brighter, safer future for Athena, one free from the cycle of abuse she herself endured. She is determined to create a loving, stable environment for her daughter—but she needs help to get there.

The Challenges She Faces

Domestic violence doesn’t only leave physical scars; it affects a person’s mental health, self-worth, and ability to build a stable life. Survivors like Haley often face isolation, financial insecurity, and a lack of resources, which makes escaping an abusive relationship incredibly difficult. Haley has sacrificed everything to protect her daughter and break this cycle of abuse, but she is starting over with nothing and is unable to work in her former career without help.

Haley needs assistance with the basics: food, shelter, and essentials for Athena. But beyond that, she needs support to rebuild her confidence, find a safe home, and ultimately return to her passion as a hairdresser. Reestablishing her independence is critical for both her and Athena’s future.
