My name is Danielle, and I am reaching out for help to escape an abusive and controlling situation with my in-laws in Arizona. My husband, our child, and our cats are all with me, and we are desperate to return to Colorado, where a shelter is ready to take us in. We were lured here with promises of support and a fresh start, but instead, my in-laws have prevented both my husband and me from working, leaving us financially trapped and unable to provide for ourselves or our child.

The most urgent need is for a car. Without transportation, we are completely dependent on my in-laws, who have also blocked my access to critical medical care. I have a medically diagnosed absorption issue that requires regular intravenous vitamin treatments and a range of medications, but I am unable to pick them up or attend necessary appointments. Recently, I missed a pre-surgery appointment I had waited months for because my in-laws prioritized their own plans over my health, putting my life at risk.

We have a safe place to go in Colorado, but we need help to get there. Your support will help us secure a car, regain our independence, and access the medical care I urgently need. Every contribution brings us closer to safety and a new beginning for our family.
