Let's get Chelsea safely home!

Donation protected
Nobody falls into love with an escape plan; yet an abrupt mental and financial abandonment, social isolation, and adultery have left our beloved friend desperately trying to find a way out of a perilous, broken marriage in a foreign country. With humble and urgent hearts, we’re seeking funds to facilitate Chelsea’s immediate relocation out of this crisis-situation. We need to get her out of England and back to the United States.

Your donation will help pay for:

◦ Rental/repair fees for car transportation in England (to retrieve her belongings from storage, to get to the airport, to get necessities like groceries, to get to an attorney, etc)
◦ An airline ticket home for Chelsea
◦ Shipping personal belongs home
◦ A divorce attorney
◦ A used vehicle upon return to the US
◦ Cell phone service
◦ Mental health care
◦ Physical health care (Chelsea recently had a major surgery)
◦ Health insurance
◦ Basic work attire (scrubs, etc)
◦ Basic resettlement provisions (a bed, dishes, etc)

Chelsea is not a taker by nature, and truly is reaching for our goodwill from a place of desperation. She is pushing through her personal anguish to lay the foundation for her evacuation. She aligned a job and place to live back in America, she has a plan— a roadmap out, but she needs financial assistance to put her plan into action before these doors close on her! Her “husband” has essentially moved out, cut communication, and keeps joined finances inaccessible. He led her to believe that he would be cooperative; instead, he became like a ghost-blockade— unreachable, invisible, and obstructive.

Chelsea has given this world so much, and we need some of that generosity to come back around towards her. From protesting for free speech to helping at the hedgehog rehabilitation center; from providing free funeral consultations to petitioning to save neighborhood trees; from talking to lonely elderly to …. quite possibly helping you get through a challenge. Her heart is always out there, accepting only what she needs and somehow outpouring double love unto others.

Chelsea gave up her career to follow her “husband” to his homeland, England. She sacrificed years of professional progress due to immigration and cultural challenges. While trying to translate her American work experience to an equivalent English career, Chelsea spent her unemployed time dedicated to her “husband’s” company, serving in effect as an employee…. who was not paid. Although married with joined finances, she chose to use her own savings for much of her living expenses. Joined finances, now crucially needed, are not accessible without her “husband” opening them up; compensation for labor provided for his company, nor any sort of amicable assistance, is unforeseeable. This leaves Chelsea financially trapped.

If you know Chelsea, you know she lives frugally. Every penny donated will have a purpose.

$5, guess what, that’s a sandwich
$40, guess what, that’s a tank of gas
$100, guess what, that’s some clothes for work
$2000, helps with airfare
$2000, this will help make the attorney deposit
$4000, this gets her a car

A little or a lot, a gift or a loan, every bit helps in a tangible way to get Chelsea out of the terribly toxic and oppressive situation she is in, and to get her home in time to start her job and re-start her life.

Thank you, from our hearts, for anything you can do to help.
