Help Us Recover from Abuse and Financial Hardship

A Mother’s Plea for Stability and Hope Hello, my name is Rachna Thakur. I am a 40-year-old single mother, trying to rebuild my life from the ground up after walking away from a 14-year-long abusive relationship. It took every ounce of strength I had to break free, to choose safety over fear, and to give my children the life they deserve—one filled with love, peace, and stability.
 Leaving wasn’t just about walking away; it was about survival. It meant stepping into the unknown, with no financial security, no safety net, and no idea what the future would hold. But I knew I had to do it. My children deserved better.
They deserved a life where they could laugh without fear, where they could dream without limitations. And so, I fought.

 For the past three years, I have been battling through the legal system to secure financial stability for my children and to repay debts that were taken out in my name.

The fight has been exhausting, mentally, emotionally, and financially. Every legal step I have taken has drained me—not just of my energy but of the very resources I need to survive. Despite my best efforts, I am now at a breaking point.

 I don’t wish to blame anyone.

 Life has been complicated, and circumstances have brought me here. But what I do know is that my children should not have to suffer because of the past. They once thrived in activities that brought them joy, confidence, and purpose. But now, those dreams have been put on hold because our priority has simply been to make it through each day.

 Today, I am reaching out with an open heart, asking for help. I have an urgent overdraft that needs immediate attention, and my total debt stands at £37,000. The weight of it is suffocating, but I believe that, with kindness and support, I can find a way out.

You might be wondering why I’m seeking help online instead of going to court. The reality is that taking legal action isn’t free—every step requires fees, and I simply don’t have the financial means to afford them right now. I’m already in overdraft, struggling just to keep up with daily expenses. Without the funds to cover legal costs, enforcing what is rightfully due becomes nearly impossible. This is why I am reaching out for support.

 How Your Support Can Help:

 • Clear the immediate overdraft to regain financial stability

 • Support my children’s needs so they can resume the activities they love and deserve

 • Give me the ability to enforce legal orders without further financial hardship Every little bit helps. Whether it’s £1, £10, £20, or whatever you can spare, your contribution will make a real difference in our journey toward healing and stability. If you are able to help, please consider donating.

 Even if you can’t donate, sharing this with others who might be willing to help would mean the world to us.

 From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story.

 Your kindness, generosity, and support will help us rebuild our lives and move toward a future where my children can thrive once again.

With gratitude,
Rachna Thakur
