Help Josh rebuild after a long difficult road.

If you know me, you know that I have never asked for help for anything before, but in this case, there is too much for me to recover alone and I am leaning on my family, friends, and community. Some of you may know I have been trying to get out of a physically and mentally abusive relationship for a long time now. I finally took the risk to my safety a few months ago to leave and it has been a very, very painful road since.

The person I was with caused problems with my dream job and my employees that I had had for 6 years, which caused me to lose my job and all income I had coming in so that I would have no way to recover.

After I kicked them out of the house with a restraining order, he then came back 3 separate times, violating the order to wreck my house and everything in it. Every single piece of furniture, every piece of decor, stole all of my clothes, and what was left, he poured bleach and toilet cleaner all over them, leaving me basically no clothing. All of my electronics, including kitchen appliances, chargers, etc., were thrown in a bathtub full of water to ruin them. I had to leave that house for my safety and in turn have a lot of financial stress from leaving my lease.

I then found a new place that I had to move into with nothing—no couch, no TV, no bed, no kitchen appliances, absolutely nothing—because he destroyed over $10k of things that I worked hard for over years and years. I didn't tell anyone where I moved, and with his stalking, he found me once again and slashed all of my tires and ruined the inside of my car. So now I am left jobless, carless, and struggling.

Every single day I am still harassed by threats to mine and my family's safety, threats to my car, threats against my friends, and he somehow knows where I am at all times and lets me know through text messages no matter how many numbers I block. Police cannot help unless it is caught in the act of a violation, and other than that, there is nothing they are willing to do.

I am asking for help from my community because there are some things we just can't do alone no matter how much we try, and if you know me, you know it is a very, very hard thing for me to ask for help.

So I'm asking, if I've ever made an impression on you, made you laugh or smile at a show, been a good friend to you, bought you a drink at a bar, or if you just know how it feels to have to start over with constant new struggles getting in your way. If you can, help me out.

I didn't deserve any of this and lost every single thing I've worked so hard for for the last 10 or more years. If you can't donate, please share. Thank you all in advance. My community has been my rock for so many years.
