Help Rachael and Daughter Escape to Safety

Donation protected
Hello, friends, family, and kind strangers —
My name is Carrol , and I’m raising this fund on behalf of Rachael and her young daughter, who very urgently need help. Rachael is bravely escaping an abusive and violent situation. She has faced fear, control, and danger for too long—and now, after a recent death in the family, the time has come to move forward and find safety and peace.
What’s going on
Rachael has had her personal freedom, resources, and safety stripped away in her current environment.
She has almost nothing to her name—no safe transportation, no savings, no reliable place to go.
Her daughter is the light of her life, and she does not want to continue living in fear or danger.
They need a way out: a reliable, cash-purchased car to transport themselves safely; funds to relocate (deposit, rent, utilities); basic living supplies; and legal / administrative support as they rebuild.
How funds will be used
Every dollar raised will go directly to helping Rachael & her daughter get to safety and rebuild their lives. Possible uses include:
A safe, dependable used car (cash purchase, no loan)
Vehicle registration, insurance, and initial maintenance
Moving costs (truck rental, fuel, moving supplies)
Security deposit and first month’s rent at a new home
Utility setup, furniture, essential household goods
Legal or administrative fees (e.g. paperwork, identification)
Emergency reserves for food, gas, incidentals during transition

Why your help matters
This isn’t just a “donation”—it’s a lifeline. Your support gives Rachael and her daughter the chance to live without fear, to heal, and to build a stable, hopeful future. Even a small donation or simply sharing this campaign can make a huge difference.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Rachael and her daughter are deeply grateful for any help, prayers, love, or support you can offer. Please share widely, pray with us, and consider contributing if you can. Together, we can give them the gift of safety and a fresh start.
