Keep Ethan and Irie safe from DV
Donation protected
In May 2017, my 2 kids (Ethan 4 & Irie 3) and I fled our home with only the clothes on our backs and went to a Domestic Violence Safe House to escape domestic violence, child abuse and neglect.
Since May the kids have been in therapy and we have had multiple court orders to restirct time with their father to only supervised visits. But the fight to keep them safe is not over and it looks like it will be a long and hard fight to continue to keep them safe. The kids are in preschooll and we have moved into a new place a town away.
Between therapy for all 3 of us, legal fees, supervisors, preschool and two motrages on top of all new clothes and furniture for our new home, we need help.
Breaking the cycle of abuse and rescuing my children and myself from a life full of fear, hurt and isolation was scary, but not worse than stying there any longer. The worry of keeping them safe on top of how will I afford it all is overwhleming, any support you can share would mean the world to us and helps keep us safe.
