I don’t normally ask anyone for help and I am in tears writing this, but I’m going to put my best foot forward and try to ask for help today, November 29, 2025.

I was woken up this morning at 8 AM to my fiancé under the influence, who proceeded to beat me, busting my head open, strangling me, and ripping my hair out because he was drunk. He is an alcoholic. I had given him an ultimatum to quit or he would lose me. He chose substance over me this morning and took out his anger on me in front of my 11-year-old son. I have given him many chances to change his life for the better, and he continues to choose substance over me.

I have a job that does not pay the bills and I am struggling. He is incarcerated and I have no help to pay my rent, let alone to get my children anything for Christmas. It’s all on me and I just don’t have it. I make minimum wage and I am trying hard to get another job. I had to call out of work today to go to the hospital to get stitches in my head and to get x-rays done on my finger that he bit and my head to make sure I didn’t have an aneurysm. I have no family out here. My parents, both of them, are deceased. The only family I have is in California.

I am looking to get help with my rent this month. Anything will help, and whatever I have left I will be using to relocate back home where I have family and can be safe with my children. I have to start all over again and at this point, I feel like just giving up. If you can’t help donate, please share and continue to pray for me in this hard time that I’m going through.
