Hello, my name is Kada. I feel ashamed to ask for help but, I know we need it. I am stuck in an abusive/toxic marriage with my two sons, Koda and Charlie.

I have spent the last 3 years as a stay-at-home-mom while my husband makes all the money. I just recently convinced him to let me get a job and I have saved about $100 so far.

Along with moving expenses like first rent, deposits, and a moving truck, we will be starting from scratch. I am in contact with a couple different ministries/organizations that will help me with the first bills, but I'm asking for help and support for things like food, a bunk bed, a bed for myself, and maybe a cheap couch and small TV for the kids. I don't need much for myself but i want to try to keep my children as comfortable as possible as we navigate this huge change.

Please do not share this freely. Only share it with people you know and trust. If it becomes known that I am trying to leave before I have the funds to do so, I fear he will kick us out on the street and I have no family near me. Please keep a tight lid on this. Thank you so so much for anything.
