Hi, my name is Barbie. My friend Kathy Nicastro was in a very abusive relationship, he beat her especially when he had been drinking. She was finally able to be rid of him after protection orders were in place. Time went by and all was good.

Well, he pleaded to her empathetic nature, he had to have surgery to remove cancer. Against her better judgment she let him in to stay in her guest room. Locking herself in her own room, she was awakened by him breaking in her door and beating her to the point she could barely move, he wouldn't let her leave. Her daughter went into labor, this saved Kathy's life. Mark allowed her to go to the hospital to welcome her granddaughter. Kathy called her best friend who in turn called the police. A stand off was what happened next. Mark took his life in her home, shooting himself.

Now with broken ribs, several bruise and a broken soul my friend is recovering. She had to hire a hazmat team to clean her home and to remove the furniture. Kathy needs help replacing not only the funds, thousands of dollars but also the furniture.

Domestic abuse is so hard to deal with. Walking and staying away is not as easy as everyone thinks.

He literally tried to kill her, please help.
