Hi all friends and strangers! Reaching out hoping for a miracle. As many of you know, I have been married for a few years and it’s taken as long to realize that I’m being abused and gather the strength to get away. From verbal assaults lasting hours on end to threats with weapons and physical violence, etc., I know now is the time for me to surrender to the fear of the unknown and get myself and my children safe and secure. I am making this public to hold myself accountable to not going back, not staying hidden and pretending all is well. For those of you that understand, you have all my empathy as well because it is so hard to leave.

At 9 weeks postpartum, I am gearing up to head back to work because I’ve stretched funds as long as I can. I am sitting in a hotel room as I write this because it is no longer safe for me to be in my home. This is an unsustainable and unexpected situation, but with my husband refusing to leave, it forces me to be put out with my two kids.

I am looking to raise money for assistance to move into a new place and to cover my daughter’s daycare for the first month, as well as get some groceries and household necessities for a new place. I have worked incredibly hard to be able to provide my children with a stability I rarely knew and although I am in a good position to hopefully sustain a joyful and stable childhood for them, I find myself in need of support and strength. I have dreams and hope for my future and I know that God is still working miracles every day. Thank you for taking the time to read and send your love our way.
