My name is Molly, and I am a survivor of domestic abuse. Recently, I had to make the difficult decision to flee Colorado with my beloved Bernese mountain dog, Norma Jeane. Her presence gave me the strength to save us from a situation where our lives were threatened. I had to leave behind everything but the barest essentials in Colorado. Leaving everything behind was terrifying, but I knew it was the only way to protect both myself and Norma Jeane.

Since arriving in a new place, I’ve faced even more challenges. I suffered an injury to my hands, making it impossible to continue working in kitchens as I have for years. This setback has left me struggling to cover basic expenses while I search tirelessly for new avenues of work. Through it all, Norma Jeane has been my constant companion, offering comfort and hope when things feel overwhelming.

I am asking for help to cover bills, gas for getting to job interviews, food and medication for Norma Jeane, and ongoing medical care that I desperately need. Your support will help us stay safe and give me the chance to rebuild our lives. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who donates. These times are hard for all of us, but I believe kindness given is also kindness received.
