My name is Margaret, and I am reaching out because I need help leaving an abusive relationship. It has been a difficult and frightening time, but I have found a safe place to stay in California where I can begin to rebuild my life. I am determined to make this journey, but I cannot do it alone.

The funds I am raising will help me purchase train tickets to California and provide food for me along the way. Every dollar will go directly toward making sure I can travel safely and have what I need until I reach my new home. Your support will give me the chance to start over in a place where I am safe and supported.

Thank you for helping me find safety on my journey. Your kindness and generosity mean more to me than words can express. I am deeply grateful for any help you can offer as I take these steps toward a better future.
