Help my beautiful friend start over ♥️

Hi, my name is Maria, and I'm raising funds to support my best friend Tricia and her two incredible kids. By the grace of Yahweh, she managed to escape an abusive marriage of 9 years, and she's now a pillar of strength and courage. Despite her situation, she remains a military wife with a current restraining order in place. Unfortunately, due to income constraints, she's unable to file for divorce. Her home is going on the market this Friday, 8/18, as she continues to face financial challenges.

Her ex-husband has been taking money from their account, leaving Tricia and her kids with barely enough to scrape by (edit: I do want to say that the ex doesn't leave her with $0, just not enough to pay bills, the mortgage, or take care of their children). He's also not paying the mortgage, despite orders from his command. Tricia is unable to work due to the high cost of childcare and her youngest child's trauma-related behavioral issues. Her 5-year-old is struggling with regression.

Tricia desperately needs a safe and stable place to call home where she can start fresh with her kids, free from fear. Establishing such a foundation is crucial before she can file for divorce and reinstate the protection order. She has a strong support network of friends and the community, and temporary living arrangements are in place. However, she needs financial assistance to stand on her own and find a new place to live. Despite excellent credit, she lacks the funds for an attorney and living expenses.

Tricia's situation is complex, as her ex-partner controlled everything during their decade-long marriage. She's making a brave transition and deserves a chance to rebuild her life. Your support can make a significant difference in helping her gain independence and stability. Thank you for considering contributing to this important cause. ♥️
