Help My Mom, a Victim of Domestic Abuse

Hi, my name's Juliette, and most of you know me as JulesBjorn. My mom is a victim of domestic abuse. My step-dad is her abuser. He also verbally abused me for a long time in the past and I suffer from depression and anxiety now because of it, but she has had it much worse for much longer, and I know she suffers from severe anxiety because of it. She never had any heart problems before, but after my step-dad's arrest she had a heart attack, just a few weeks ago. She hasn't had another heart attack and I hope she never does, but I am scared for her safety and well-being if life continues to be so stressful for her.

She has nowhere to go, and is living in a hotel in Georgia right now with no car. I live and work in Texas or else I would be helping her with transportation at least. All her friends were mutual friends with my step-dad, and she is scared to tell them where she is staying, so my mom is forced to take taxis and Ubers to work. I have had to do the same thing in the past to get to school, and it is extremely expensive to do every day - a majority of her spending is on transportation. She is working a grueling schedule in hospice care (caring for the elderly) 7 days a week just to pay for transportation, the hotel, and bills that she shared with my step-dad before his arrest. She is working so hard, but she is not able to save any money to get out of that situation because of all of these factors.

I have sent her what I am able to and I'm sad that I can't send more.

Please, if you have any money to spare for a good cause, she would really appreciate it and so would I.

I am scared for her safety and I want her to feel that she doesn't need a man to support her. I never want her to risk her life like this again just because she thinks she needs a man to help her. I really believe in her and I want her to be independent because I know she'll be better off that way. Please help me convince her she will be okay on her own.

Donations will first and foremost be used to help her pay off existing bills, and then get OUT of that hotel. Past that point, they will be used however she thinks will be most helpful. Thank you for helping a victim of domestic abuse, and most importantly helping my mom. It means the world.
