Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out with a heavy heart but hopeful spirit. After enduring a long and painful journey in an abusive relationship, my daughter, Karielle, finally found the strength to leave and begin rebuilding her life. The path hasn’t been easy, but every step forward has been worth it — for her and her son’s safety, their peace, and their future.

As anyone who’s been through it knows, escaping domestic violence is only the beginning. She has been fighting a difficult legal battle to secure protection, custody, and the stability they deserve. With the support of family and friends, she has come a long way — emotionally, physically, and legally — but she has now exhausted all of her personal and community resources.

She is so close to the end of this legal process, but she needs help to get across the finish line. Your support will go directly toward final legal fees and court costs that are critical to securing the long-term protection and peace she has worked so hard for.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, it will make a tremendous difference. And if you’re not in a place to give, sharing this fundraiser can help more than you know.

Thank you for believing in her and helping her reclaim a life for her and her children.

With gratitude,

JoLynn (Karielle's mom)
