Help Us Rebuild After Domestic Violence

Donation protected

I am a victim of domestic violence. My final attack happened a little over a year ago, resulting in post concussion syndrome, a traumatic brain injury, and a seizure disorder. Since then, I have tried to return to work multiple times, but each attempt has ended with seizures or near episodes, which led to being let go. I am now in the process of applying for state disability, but the wait and uncertainty have made it difficult to keep up with necessary bills and home upkeep.

Recently, a pipe burst in my home, causing a probable biohazard issue. My dog and I are now displaced and struggling to find the funds to fix the damage and secure a safe place to stay. Because of my PTSD and the trauma from domestic violence, feeling safe is a challenge. My dog is my protector and my comfort, and having a place where we can be together and feel secure is so important to my healing.

The funds raised will help cover temporary housing for myself and my dog, as well as repairs to my home so we can return safely. This support will also help with basic living expenses while I work through my health and disability challenges. Any support you can give would mean the world to me and my dog. Thank you for reading my story and considering a donation or sharing my fundraiser.
