<div>My name is Sadie Tolley, and I am a survivor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On January 8, 2025, I was kidnapped by a stranger who held me captive for nearly five months. During that time, I experienced unimaginable trauma. I was finally able to escape on May 22, 2025, and the man responsible is now in jail — where I hope he stays, so he can never hurt anyone else again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While this is not the first time I’ve experienced sexual assault, it is the first time I’ve found the strength to speak up and seek justice. With the help of law enforcement and the support of a few trusted people, I am now free and taking my first steps toward healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But freedom is only the beginning. Now, I am working to rebuild my life from the ground up — for myself and for my 6-year-old daughter, who deserves stability, safety, and peace.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I’m Asking for Help</strong>
</div>
<div>I’m raising $10,000 to cover the basic necessities we need to start over:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A safe place to live
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Reliable transportation
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Clothing and essentials for me and my daughter
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Once our basic needs are met, I hope to use any remaining funds to enroll in a women’s self-defense class. This step is important to me as I work to restore a sense of empowerment and safety in my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Support Us</strong>
</div>
<div>If you're able to give, please know that every donation — no matter the size — makes a meaningful impact. Your support will help us get back on our feet, move forward, and begin to heal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you're unable to give financially right now, I truly welcome your prayers, encouragement, and shares of this campaign. Just knowing that people care gives me strength on the hard days.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story. Thank you for believing in second chances, in healing, and in the power of kindness.
